A completelyunexpected momentunfolded during the live broadcast of the much-awaitedJake Paulvs.Mike Tysonboxing match atAT&T Stadiumin Dallas, Texas.
Before the fight—which left many fans disappointed—the Netflix audience got treated to a surprising view of Tyson’s fully uncovered anduncensored butt.
The incident took place during an interview the legendary boxer was giving in his locker room ahead of the fight, sharing his opinion on the preceding bout between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. When the camera zoomed out, it inadvertently revealed the 58-year-old’s bare backside as he walked away.
“Bro, what the f—!?” said Paul shaking his head in disbelief, who was in his own dressing room warming up with the Netflix stream in the background.
“That shot was totally unnecessary,” wrote one viewer. “I still can’t believe Netflix aired that.”

Among the fight’s harshest critics was sports journalist Stephen A. Smith who stated that theboutwas outright “sad to watch” during an appearance on ESPN’sFirst Take.
Smith explained how the legendary boxer, despite his intimidating reputation, seemed a shadow of his former self. “He looked old, he looked slow,” the journalist said, noting how Tyson stumbled while walking to the ring.
Smith attributed Tyson’s deteriorated physical condition to the boxer’s recenthealth struggles, which included blood transfusions and significant weight loss leading up to the event. “I’m happy to hear he’s better health-wise, but he looked bad,” Smith said.

The journalist went as far as to suggest that Jake Paul pulled his punches during thefightto avoid knocking the 58-year-old out, out of respect for his legacy.
“I believe that whenJake Paulwas in the ring with Mike Tyson, there was something that said to him, ‘I can’t do this. I’m not going to try to knock him out. He’s 31 years older than me,’” Smith speculated.
Smith urged Paul to start fighting against active competitors comparable to his age and condition, arguing that his antics are doing the sport more harm than good

Smith also touched on where the internet celebrity-turned-boxer should go after his bout with Tyson, expressing frustration atPaul’schoice of opponents.
While he recognized the 27-year-old’s ability to draw large crowds and generate excitement around his fights, he urged the boxer to compete against opponents closer to his age and condition, who are active contenders.
“You can’t continue to build a career without getting in the ring with real fighters,” Smith said, pointing to Paul’s past opponents, who were mainly non-boxers and retired athletes.
“At some point in time, you’ve got to fight real boxers,” he continued, mentioning, alongside his co-host Shannon Sharpe, that these types of events actually do more harm than good to the sport in the long run.

Echoing similar sentiments was former professional kickboxer and internet personalityAndrew Tatewho said that Paul “needs to be taught a lesson,” and offered to fight him in the future. Despite his criticisms, he recognized the 27-year-old’s ability to draw crowds, praising him for making people “care” about boxing.
“They shouldn’t have filmed that man,” one said. “The entire production was a joke.”
“This entire circus fight was a damn joke,” a viewer wrote.
Others theorized that the shot was intentional, and an attempt at getting viewers to laugh at the retired boxer.
“This was a humiliation ritual,” another stated. “They did Mike dirty.”
“They knew to be watching. Humiliation was part of the contract.”
“Jake Paul’s reaction says it all—Netflix went too far.”
“That was unnecessary.” Viewers criticized the shot of Tyson’s backside, believing it was a deliberate attempt to make fun of the boxing legend
