Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to throw down in the ring on Friday night as part of the first-ever live-streamed Netflix boxing match. One of the biggest drawbacks for the fight has been the shoddy streaming quality, with tons of fans complaining about buffering issues.

Now, to add to the issues that Netflix is likely to hear about, the stream accidentally showed the bare backside of Mike Tyson as he finished a pre-fight interview. Tyson was shown walking away, and all he was wearing was a cup.
For those who want to see the moment, check out the video below. However, this is to be considered not safe for anyone but adults. You have been warned.

Did Mike Tyson just …. Never mind

Netflix even decided to get into the action by posting a video of Tyson showing off his backside.
Granted, Netflix was probably not aware that Tyson was going to be walking around in a very comfortable manner, but at least the company can find a laugh in what was likely a huge mistake. Either way, the internet is likely to talk about this moment far past the outcome of the fight.
The internet can often take moments such as this and turn them into memes that last for months, and sometimes years. The only thing that might make the internet forget about Tyson’s butt is if he brutally knocks out Jake Paul.
Paul and Tyson are finally set to face each other in the ring after months. The bout was meant to happen on July 20, but it had to be postponed after Tyson suffered a medical scare on a flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The medical scare ended up being an ulcer flare-up, resulting in Tyson not being able to train via doctor’s orders.
The fight would then be pushed to Nov. 15. Paul has been on a tear, securing a 10-1 record en route to the biggest matchup of his career. Even with the fight with Tyson being postponed, Paul chose to take on former UFC and current BKFC star Mike Perry on July 20.

Paul would defeat Perry by TKO, preparing him for his matchup with Tyson. Tyson is arguably the greatest heavyweight champion boxing has ever seen. Though he is currently 58 years old, he has proven that he can still deal power and accuracy via the training videos he has provided to prepare for this fight against the 27-year-old Paul.
Though the outcome of the fight has yet to be revealed, Tyson will certainly go mega-viral for showing his butt on a live stream that has likely reached millions of people.
