Mike Tyson's Pre-Fight Interview Goes Viral for the Wrong Reason

As if Mike Tyson's fight against Jake Paul needed even more attention, the former undisputed heavyweight champion turned heads again just before the main event of Saturday's Netflix fight card at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This is not about Tyson's cool jacket but rather about what happened after what was a great moment with his son, Amir Tyson.

After finishing an interview with Amir, "Iron Mike" walked away, and as the camera followed him, it became apparent that he was only wearing a jock strap. NetFlix didn't seem to mind that, though, as they even uploaded that clip to X for everyone to see.

One comment from an X user read: ‘If we act like nothing is wrong, everything will be ok’ - Netflix”

From a different X user: “I love how my stream only worked to show me Mike Tyson's buns.”

“Not more [expletive] than ur servers,” a fan who is frustrated with Netflix’s stream quality said.

“Netflix has Mike Tyson's son Amir interview him then they show Mike walking away wearing only a jock strap and we have to see his [expletive] cheeks. Lmao,” chimed in a fan.

“Turned the stream back on Mike Tyson's [expletive] is on my screen,” added another social media commenter.

That wild video aside, what everyone really wants to see is whether the 58-year-old boxing legend still has at least one great fight in him to beat Paul.
