Before his latest ringwalk, Mike Tyson was part of a viral moment when he was interviewed backstage by his son ahead of his boxing match with Jake Paul. The legendary heavyweight was asked for his prediction and after walking away, bared his buttocks, which raised the eyebrow of a former UFC two-division champion.
Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman touched on the incident on a recent episode of their Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry podcast. While many found the moment with Tyson humorous, Cejudo disagreed and instead found it awkward, listing it as one of the strangest sports moments of the year.
"Let me get at this one, Kush. We got Jake Paul vs. Uncle Mike. Look at Tyson, you're the most feared man in the world. And look, he kisses his son, Amir, and then bladaow! Dude, this to me is cringey, but Uncle Mike can do whatever the f*** he wants cause he's Mike Tyson, bro, and Mike Tyson don't care bro."

Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul was widely panned
Even before the fight took place, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul received tremendous criticism, chiefly due to the 31-year-old age difference between both fighters. The criticism only worsened after the fight, which saw Paul fail to knock out Tyson, who had just recovered from serious health complications.

It was a fairly uneventful affair that ended in a unanimous decision win for Paul. Despite the criticism he has faced, 'The Problem Child' has remained defiant in the face of his detractors, taking part in a recent press conference to dismiss them.
