No ifs, ands, or buts about it—Mike Tyson’s bare butt was unexpectedly exposed on national television during a live interview ahead of his highly anticipated boxing match against Jake Paul. The incident occurred on Friday, just hours before the fight, as the retired heavyweight legend spoke with his son Amir about his predictions for the upcoming bout.
During the interview, Tyson confidently shared his thoughts on the fight, predicting a “vicious win” for himself against Jake Paul. The exchange was heartfelt as Tyson expressed his love for his 27-year-old son, hugging and kissing Amir while telling him, “I love you.”
However, things took an unexpected turn when Tyson turned around to walk away. Cameras caught an unplanned glimpse of Tyson’s bare buttocks, exposed in his jock strap, much to the surprise of viewers tuning in.
The unexpected moment quickly went viral on social media, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter), leaving viewers both shocked and amused. Clips of the incident spread like wildfire, with many users chiming in with their reactions.
One user commented, “Did I just see Mike Tyson’s bare ass on my screen?” while another wrote, “The only time my Netflix has worked the entire night, and they show me Mike Tyson’s bare ass.” A third person added humorously, “Netflix caught me off guard showing me Mike Tyson’s ass like that outta nowhere—why is bro walking around with his cheeks out?”

The reactions kept coming, with one fan summing up the chaotic nature of the night: “Mike Tyson’s ass is out, Serrano is fighting with an open gash, Netflix is buffering. This is truly a Friday night special.” The incident, while unintended, became one of the most talked-about moments leading up to the highly publicized match.
Tyson had been making headlines throughout the week as the excitement for Friday’s fight continued to build. Just a day before the unexpected TV exposure, Tyson found himself in yet another viral moment during the weigh-in with Jake Paul.
During the face-off, tensions flared as Paul, in an attempt to get under Tyson’s skin, got down on his hands and knees and crawled toward his opponent. Tyson, who was only wearing socks at the time, became visibly irritated when Paul stepped on his foot.
Following the weigh-in scuffle, Tyson spoke to the New York Post, expressing his frustration with Paul’s antics. “He is a f–king a–hole,” Tyson said bluntly. “I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose. I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate.” The slap that followed was Tyson’s way of retaliating against Paul’s antics.
Paul, however, seemed unbothered by the incident and brushed it off in subsequent interviews. When asked about Tyson’s slap, Paul downplayed it, telling reporters, “I didn’t even feel it.”
Despite the heated moments, both fighters remained focused on the bout, which had been hyped as one of the biggest crossover boxing events of the year.
The lead-up to the fight was filled with unpredictable moments, and Tyson’s bare butt exposure added yet another layer of spectacle to an already wild week.
Whether intentional or not, the moment showcased Tyson’s unfiltered personality and the unpredictability that has always surrounded him, both inside and outside the ring.
As the fight approached, fans were eagerly anticipating what other surprises the night might bring, with hopes that the in-ring action would match the entertainment of the pre-fight drama. However, as it turned out, the fight fell short of those expectations.
