Mike Tyson finally reacts to the explicit viral moment of him before his fight against Jake Paul

Possibly one of the most viral moments to come out of Mike Tyson’s recent fight against Jake Paul was something that happened in the locker room before the two even stepped into the boxing ring.

This past November, Mike Tyson controversially returned to professional boxing when he took on Jake Paul in a monumental event at the AT&T Stadium, which streamed exclusively on Netflix.

Despite the bout being covered in controversy because of the staggering 31-year age gap, it broke modern-day viewership records, as Netflix boasted that it peaked at 65 million concurrent streams worldwide.

With this being ‘Iron Mike’s’ first professional fight since 2005, there was a major concern for the 58-year-old’s health as prior to the fight, he admitted that he was struggling to walk and suffered an ulcer flare-up earlier in the year.

Fortunately, though, Tyson came out of the fight relatively unscathed after ‘The Problem Child’ sailed to a unanimous decision victory without dropping the former heavyweight boxing champion.

Following the fight, Tyson admitted that he was extremely proud of himself for making it to the fight, shedding more light on the health issues he endured earlier in the year, admitting he had eight blood transfusions, nearly dying.

Despite that, because of Paul’s performance, he and his team released an official statement shortly after, slamming claims that his fight against Tyson was ‘fixed’.

However, possibly the most viral moment to come from the history-making fight, was something that happened in the locker room, moments before the two fighters made their walks to the ring.

During an interview with Netflix, Tyson gave one last prediction of his fight, in which he claimed he was going to score a ‘vicious win’.

After kissing the reporter on the cheek, the 58-year-old turned round and walked back to his team with his bare rear end being completely exposed.

Almost a month removed from the fight, Tyson has finally reacted to the moment that broke the internet, before the two even stepped into the ring.

“Hey, television has really changed, huh, when that became a big thing. That’s just so ridiculous,” Tyson laughed in a recent interview with Fox Sports Radio.

“That’s not important, I’ve looked, I’ve been that way my whole career, my butt’s been shown, no one took a picture of it. Hey, man, I guess (it’s better than ever), I don’t know, there’s a new time and era,” he continued.
