‘Not what we expected’ – Mike Tyson’s bare backside shown on live broadcast as fans are shocked before Jake Paul fight
Mike Tyson’s bare backside was shown live on air in an astonishing blunder just minutes before he came up against Jake Paul. Heavyweight legend Tyson was returning at the age of 58, in a controversial full professional bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer in front of 70,000 fans in Texas. Tyson arrived to the arena in style before an interview in his dressing roomGetty The event was being broadcasted by streaming service Netflix to over 282 million homes globally, and had already faced difficult with technical issues plaguing the broadcast. But in the most extraordinary moment, footage cut to an interview of Tyson being interviewed in his dressing room by son Amir. He was talking about the fight and promised to deliver a KO blow in a short but typically sweet segment with moments to go before their ring walks. But as he turned around, Tyson’s bare backside was exposed as the camera zoomed out. Boxing fans tuning in couldn’t quite believe what they were witnessing. One wrote on social media: “Tyson’s bare a** while being interviewed by his son whaat?” Another said: “I’ve just seen Mike Tyson’s bare a** on live tv what the f***?” A user added: “They 100 per cent did this on purpose.” Before one concluded: “I could’ve done without that in my life.” Tyson is no stranger to the spotlight, but he couldn’t have possibly expected to have been left so exposed on a worldwide broadcast. He had already shown off his impressive ripped physique in the footage, and stripped down during the fight weigh-in.

Many had questioned exactly why he’d want to expose himself, also to risk, given the health concerns he has been plagued by in the build-up. But he insisted that was something he was willing to do when justifying the fight. He said: “I could be waiting on a check every day from cannabis,’’ Tyson said. That’s bulls*** for me.
