Mike Tyson had nothing to hide Friday heading into his fight against Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Tyson sent the internet into a frenzy when he gave a locker room interview just moments before the two would step into the ring. It wasn’t anything that Tyson said that had fans buzzing, but rather his cheeky choice of clothing (or lack thereof).
Tyson was asked to give his prediction for the fight. The 58-year-old said he would be on the right side of a “vicious win” over Paul before walking away from the camera and revealing his exposed behind. You can watch the bold clip below.

The entire thing could have potentially been a planned publicity stunt. But regardless of the moment’s authenticity, the clip showing Tyson’s naked rear went astronomically viral on social media.
Tyson has not fought in a professional boxing match since he lost to Kevin McBride via a corner retirement back in 2005. But for a guy who hasn’t stepped into the ring for real in nearly two decades, Tyson has gotten himself into pretty decent shape to face Paul.
Tyson’s interview was far from the only unusual occurrence of the night. One Tyson-Paul undercard saw the victor hump his opponent mid-fight en route to a decisive victory.
