Mike Tyson is officially on board the Jake Paul circus.
On Monday, Tyson faced off with Paul for the first time ahead of their July 20th fight at Cowboys Stadium that will air live on Netflix.
Ahead of the fight, Tyson and Paul met with the media in New York and things got fairly wild pretty fast.
At one point in the press conference, a cursing kid got on the mic to ask the fighters about their “body count,” which led Tyson to blurt out, “where’s your mother?”

During the press conference, one reporter inappropriately asked women’s boxing champ Amanda Serrano which part of her body she planned to put on weight for her upcoming fight against Katie Taylor.
“We got some perversion going on” said Tyson during the reporter’s awkward exchange with the reporter.

Eventually, Tyson had to deal with Paul’s minion Derek from Betr media, who had previously gone viral for cursing out Nate Diaz at a press conference. Thankfully, Derek didn’t say anything too bad to Tyson but did get “fired” by Paul again.
Derek Betr Media: “Mike, I want to let you know that I work for Jake Paul, and I’ve gotten to know him pretty well; I’ve seen him box quite a bit, and I can confidently say that you’re going to knock his a– out.”
