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

Mike Tyson's bare backside was shown live on air in an astonishing blunder just minutes before he came up against Jake Paul.

Heavyweight legend Tyson was returning at the age of 58, in a controversial full professional bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer in front of 70,000 fans in Texas.

The event was being broadcasted by streaming service Netflix to over 282 million homes globally, and had already faced difficult with technical issues plaguing the broadcast.

But in the most extraordinary moment, footage cut to an interview of Tyson being interviewed in his dressing room by son Amir.

He was talking about the fight and promised to deliver a KO blow in a short but typically sweet segment with moments to go before their ring walks.
