In a shocking turn of events, boxing legend Mike Tyson was seen wearing a backless jockstrap during an interview with his son, inadvertently exposing his behind to the world. The incident occurred while Tyson was preparing for his fight with Jake Paul at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.
Quizzed by his son about his fight prediction, Tyson confidently replied: “Vicious win,” followed by a loving exchange affirming his love for his son, only to stand up and reveal more than expected to the audience.
The boxing legend turned around, showing his naked butt cheeks – with the camera then focusing on his exposed rear.
Despite being 58 years old and re-entering the ring after nearly two decades, Tyson has been training vigorously.
He’s been showing off impressive form ahead of the bout against Paul, who, at 31 years younger, boasts a record cloaked in both promise and intrigue from his fledgling boxing career.
Opinions are split among fans regarding who will dominate this match-up — Tyson, with his formidable legacy, or Paul, favoured by some oddsmakers due to his youthful agility and successful streak in the ring.
Tyson got heated and slapped Paul across the face as they faced each other for the last time before their Friday night bout, necessitating separation by officials. Footage showed that Paul had accidentally trodden on Tyson’s foot, causing Tyson’s aggressive reaction, with Paul merely in trainers and Tyson sock-footed.
Following the altercation, Paul told Ariel Helwani: “It’s personal now. I’m —-ing him up, Ariel. I’m —-ing up. He must die.”
