‘Not what we expected’ – Mike Tyson’s bare backside seen on live broadcast as fans are shocked before Jake Paul fight

Mike Tyson’s bare backside was exposed live on air in an astonishing blunder just minutes before he faced Jake Paul.

Heavyweight legend Tyson returned at the age of 58 in a controversial all-professional fight against a YouTuber-turned-boxer in front of 70,000 fans in Texas.

The event was broadcast by streaming service Netflix to more than 282 million households worldwide, and had already experienced technical issues that plagued the broadcast.

But in the most special moment, footage was cut for an interview in which Tyson was interviewed by son Amir in his dressing room.

He talked about the fight and promised to deliver a KO blow in a short but typically sweet segment with just moments to go before their ring went around.

But when he turned around, Tyson’s bare backside became visible as the camera zoomed out.

Boxing fans who tuned in couldn’t quite believe what they were seeing.

One wrote on social media: “Tyson has a bare bottom while being interviewed by his son, what?”

Another said: “I just saw Mike Tyson’s bare ass on live TV, who cares?”

One user added: “They did this 100 percent on purpose.”

Before anyone concluded, “I could have done without it in my life.”

Tyson is no stranger to the spotlight, but he couldn’t possibly have expected to be in the spotlight like this on a worldwide broadcast.

He had already shown off his impressive, ripped physique in the footage and stripped off during the fight weigh-in.

The legend was in impressive shape considering his age, but was surprisingly the underdog against the inexperienced influencer turned fighter.

Many had wondered exactly why he would want to expose himself, including to risk, given the health issues that plagued him in the lead-up.

But he insisted he was prepared to justify the fight.

He said: “I would wait for a cannabis check any day,” Tyson said. That’s bullshit to me. I’m a man.

“I want to go out and expose myself to risks. Sometimes I want to see who I really am.

“I want to see what I’m really made of. I want to perform for the world.

“For me, that’s all I’ve ever been able to do since I was 14. This fight won’t change my life enough financially.

“This is exactly what I wanted to do.
