Viewers tuning in for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing event were caught off guard by an unexpected moment from Tyson’s locker room during the pre-fight coverage.
The highly anticipated bout, held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, had fans eagerly watching the build-up. The undercard began at 1 AM GMT on 16 November, and the main fight was streamed live on Netflix, reaching over 280 million viewers worldwide as part of their subscription package.
However, a surprising scene unfolded when cameras cut to Tyson’s locker room. As the 58-year-old boxer was seen preparing and getting hyped for the fight, he turned around, inadvertently revealing his bare backside to millions of viewers.
Social media quickly lit up with reactions to the bizarre incident. While some fans found humor in the moment, others expressed their shock.
One viewer described Tyson as a “national treasure,” while another remarked, “Did not expect to see that when I turned on Netflix,” accompanied by laughing emojis. A different fan joked, “Please, for the love of God, get Mike Tyson’s a** off my timeline!”
