Fans spot specific detail that shows how Mike Tyson really felt after losing to Jake Paul
Viewers think that Tyson’s feelings about the result were clear through this one action
Following Jake Paul’s victory against Mike Tyson in their heavyweight bout, fans have spotted a post-fight detail you may have missed.
Paul won via unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA on Friday night (15 November), beating Iron Mike after eight, two minute rounds of boxing.
Tyson’s record now stands at 50-7-2, while Paul’s has improved to 12-1, despite the former starting well in the first couple of rounds.
The Netflix fight was one of the most anticipated boxing events of the year, though by the end, fans cited Tyson’s age as the reason for his loss, with Paul, 27, a whole 31-years younger than his opponent.

Iron Mike commented about his habit of chewing on his mouthguard/gloves post-fight too, saying that he has a ‘biting-fixation’, seemingly referencing the horror event in 1997 that saw him bite Evander Holyfield’s ear off.
But now, fans think that they have spotted a moment in the ring following the announcement of results, which show how Tyson really feels about the result.
Although the two remained respectful and civil after the fight, following the announcement that Paul won, Tyson offered his hand in congratulations, which Paul seemed to miss as he celebrated by spraying aerosol on himself and shushing the camera.
Fans took to social media to share their thoughts, as one said: “I never thought I’d feel bad for Mike Tyson but here we are.
“Was ready to cry when he reached his little defeated hand out to shake that stupid muppets hand and his whole reputation and career flashed before his eyes.”
Another said: “As f***ing IF, Mike Tyson went to shake Jake Paul’s hand after losing but Paul was too busy spraying whatever the fuck was in that aerosol to be a proper sportsman and shake hands. What an absolute loser.”

A third added: “The perfect moment when Tyson reached out to shake Paul’s hand and he was too busy showing off some f***ing body spray (put in his hand by Logan) as what looks like some promotion to acknowledge it.
“That is The Paul brothers in a nutshell.”
After the misunderstanding, Paul shared an embrace with Tyson though, before it looked like the latter lightly pushed him away.
Earlier tonight, some fans endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up, while millions at home were treated, or jump-scared, to Tyson’s bare a** in his locker room following a pre-fight interview.

Someone has actually bought that $2million (£1.6million) ticket for the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson fight.
Yep, ahead of the big face-off tomorrow (15 November) night – well, the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot – a special VIP ticket has apparently been sold.
The big boxing event is of course getting live streamed on Netflix, with subscribers being able to watch it without paying an additional PPV fee.
But plenty of people are still heading out to watch in person as Paul faces Tyson at the 60,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
And that now seems to include someone whose splashed the millions on this top-end ticket that includes six seats.
What’s included in the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul VIP package?
The package comes with a special pre-fight locker room visit plus a unrivalled view in a ‘specially built ringside suite’. Two of the six ticket holders will get a unique experience, sitting elevated above the rest of the crowd.
But get this, early renders show that the fans in this kind of private booth attached to the ring won’t necessarily be watching the action right in front of them straight-up. Oh no, they’ll be watching it splashed on a TV screen in front of them. While they’re in there, they’ll be provided with the ‘top-shelf’ food and drinks on tap as they lounge back on recliners.
Sorry, I mean, you can’t tell me I couldn’t just create this same feeling from the comfort of my own home, pulling up my comfy sofa in front of the telly and laying out a buffet?
But whatever, this special package does come with a whole load of other fancy perks like getting a set of autographed boxing gloves from the main men of the night. They’ll even have a personal escort throughout the event plus a two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel.
Oh, and of course, the package comes with the standard stuff, like you know, access to every bit of the pre-fight stuff from press conferences to the weigh-ins.
The other four ticket-holders not getting to sit in the ‘Ringside Apron Seats’ will instead be in Row 1 ringside seats.

Fans think they’ve worked out why Jake Paul walked out to a classic pop song.
It’s almost time, as Paul and Tyson are finally set to face off, eight months after the initial announcement.
Hosted at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, the NFL’s Dallas Cowboy’s home ground in front of 70,000 people, millions are watching across the world on Netflix.
Fans have already been given a jump-scare as footage from Tyson’s locker room revealed that his bare a** was out, while some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up.
The walk outs have just taken place, and fans think they know why Paul chose Phil Collins’ 80s’ classic, ‘In the Air Tonight’.
You may remember 2009 comedy film The Hangover, which Tyson had a cameo in, and a famous scene from the film has Iron Mike punch actor Zach Galifianakis in the face, while singing the classic song.
Fans took to social media to share the memory.
Taking to X, one wrote: “Jake Paul bring back (sic) Tyson in the hangover. Love that, gonna bet $500 on him”
Another said: “Lol Jake Paul coming out to air in the night to troll Tyson’s hangover role”
A third wrote: “@jakepaul so much disrespect for playing Tyson’s Hangover song as your walk in…”
A different user pointed out: “The HANGOVER Phil Collins song I can’t associate with anyone but Mike Tyson is Jake Paul’s ring walk. Kind of brilliant.”
If you don’t know what we’re on about, take a look below:
The fight is currently streaming on Netflix, for millions around the world to view.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained
The bout between Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which makes this a professional fight, as the result will go on the fighter’s respective records.
However, it will not adhere to the rules of a standard heavyweight bout, with gloves being heavier at 14 ounces instead of 10. This means the punches will not land as hard due to the extra padding, as well as protecting each boxer’s hands more than at 10-ounce gloves.
The rounds will also last two minutes instead of the standard three, and instead of 12 rounds, there will only be eight.

Netflix subscribers have been warned over a small issue which may prevent them from watching the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight this weekend.
We are now mere days away from the biggest fight of the year taking place, when YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul steps in front of an 80,000 strong crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to fight the legendary ‘Iron Mike’.
The fight has faced several setbacks in order to get over the line, with a health scare from 58-year-old Tyson pushing it back a number of months – however, we’re finally here.
So, here is everything you need to know ahead of watching the fight from the comfort of your own sofa.
The main event will take place at around 10pm in Texas on Friday (15 November), which means that UK viewers will need to stay up until 4am on Saturday (16 November) if they want to catch the fight live.
Do I need to pay extra to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?
One of the main questions fans have been asking in the lead-up to the bout is whether or not you’ll need to pay extra.
The fight is broadcasting exclusively on streaming platform Netflix and anyone who already has a subscription will be available to watch free of charge. That’s right, the fight was no PPV charge and will even be available to people who have the £4.99-a-month ads-supported subscription.

Which is no doubt music to many of your ears.
However, there are some important things to be aware of before Friday night/Saturday morning rolls around.
If you’re planning to be kind and share your subscription with others, be aware that only up to two people will be able to watch from a standard £10.99-a-month subscription.
However, anyone who pays for the more expensive £17.99-a-month premium subscription will be able to share their login with as many as four users, including the option to add two members from a different household (a feature long gone for many Netflix users) and see the pair pummel each other in crystal clear Ultra HD quality.
If that’s the sort of thing you’re into.

Do I need a TV Licence to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?
Viewers who exclusively consume their content through streaming platforms should also be aware that the rules are slightly different when it comes to broadcasting live TV.
While you don’t need a TV licence to stream shows, you do need to pay for one if you’re watching live shows – with the penalty for being caught out a grim £1,000.

Tonight’s the big night. The night two ‘legends’ take to the ring for the big fight that honestly feels like has been going on for decades at this point.
With a whole load of rules and fancy ticket packages being sold, the Jake Paul v Mike Tyson event this Friday night – well, the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot – is getting plenty of attention.
But fans just can’t get their heads around one of the official fight rules for the big boxing bout that will have a huge impact on the contest.
One of the rules for the Netflix event is that instead of the pair wearing the standard 10-ounce gloves worn for a heavyweight fight, they will be wearing 14-ounce gloves.
Basically, the heavier the glove is, then the more padding and the more shock absorbed by the glove – rather than the first and point of contact on the opposition fighter.
And people simply can’t understand why this would be put in place.
They finally go head-to-head tonight. (Brett Carlsen/Getty Images for Netflix © 2024)
Plenty pointed out how this rule could benefit Paul and limit Tyson as one wrote: “Something that’s being overlooked in the upcoming Tyson and Paul fight is the 14oz gloves they’ll be using. I’m no boxer but larger gloves will limit Tyson’s power and give Paul a larger surface area to block with.
“They’ll also give an edge to Paul from an endurance standpoint—heavier gloves means you’ll tire more quickly with each punch. Not a fan of the rules in this one. It’s set up for Paul to outlast a 58-year-old man when the fight goes the distance.”
Another made the observation that legendary boxer Tyson’s KOs typically came wearing 10-ounce gloves.
“The biggest factor may be that they’ll be using 14oz gloves… Tyson got all of his knockouts with the 10oz,” one wrote. “Or it may be that Tyson is 58 & Paul is 27…”

Some just simply aren’t happy about the weird rule choice altogether, writing: “14-ounce gloves? So they’re just basically having a pillow fight?”
With another slamming: “14 oz is heavier than amateurs. 10 or 12 oz would’ve been great.”
Others speculate the rule has been put in place to make sure the ‘fight goes the distance’ and are disappointed that a knockout looks ‘very unlikely’.
