This weekend’s showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is a massive chapter in Boxing history. The kid who started on Disney Channel just beat one of boxing’s most feared punchers ever. But here’s where things get interesting. ‘The Problem Child’ says he actually pumped the brakes during the fight.
In what has to be one of the most surprising post-fight revelations, Paul admitted he held back against the legendary Iron Mike. Now, that’s either the boldest statement in boxing history or a touching show of respect or maybe a bit of both.
“I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt.”
“I didn’t wanna hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt”

According to Jake Paul, he didn’t see the need to hurt a legend unnecessarily. He further claimed that he didn’t feel the mythical power that made grown men shake in their boots during Tyson’s prime. The same devastating force that knocked out 44 professional fighters apparently didn’t faze the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Despite all the pre-fight drama – including that spicy face-off slap from Tyson – Paul kept things classy after securing his victory. He even went full fanboy mode in the ring, calling Tyson the GOAT and thanking him for paving the way. The win pushes Paul’s record to 11-1. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny he’s making waves in the boxing world.
Netflix Accidentally Broadcasted Mike Tyson’s Bare Butt Live On Stream
Well, That’s one way to promote a fight! Live television has given fans plenty of memorable moments over the years, but Netflix just added a whole new chapter to that book. During what was supposed to be a simple pre-fight interview, ‘Iron Mike’ gave viewers a bit more than they bargained for. And by “a bit more,” it meant the former champ’s backside made an unexpected cameo appearance.
The whole thing went down during what started as a perfectly normal interview setup. The camera was doing its job, focused on Tyson’s upper body as he answered questions with his usual intensity. Nobody watching at home had any clue that the boxing legend wasn’t fully dressed below the camera line. Then came the moment that had social media doing a collective double-take – Tyson stood up and walked away, revealing he’d been sitting there in his birthday suit from the waist down.

But here’s where it gets even better. Instead of trying to sweep this little wardrobe malfunction under the rug, Netflix decided to lean into it. They actually posted the clip on their social media, proving that even streaming giants can have a sense of humor. It’s like when you trip in public and decide to take a bow instead of pretending it didn’t happen.
