Viral Mike Tyson Photo Draws Strong Reaction From Conor McGregor

Mike Tyson's return to the ring against Jake Paul didn't deliver on the hype, but it sure did create some viral moments along the way. And one of those moments drew quite a strong reaction from fellow legendary fighter Conor McGregor in a since-deleted post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

There was a lot of excitement surrounding Tyson's return to boxing at 58 years old, and fans were tuning into Netflix's broadcast of the event well before he entered the ring with Paul. And for those who did, they ended up seeing perhaps the most viral moment of the night involving Tyson.

After interviewing Tyson in his locker room ahead of the fight, he turned around and inadvertently mooned millions of fans who were watching the event. It was hard to miss (assuming your stream wasn't buffering), and it drew a hilarious reaction from McGregor.

"A solid buttocks, nipples like cigars, knockout power. Mike is truly God's creation!. God bless Iron Mike!" McGregor shared on X before eventually deleting the post.

Unsurprisingly, the photo of Tyson's butt ended up going viral on social media, adding to all the confusion surrounding Netflix's broadcasting of the event. Add in all the buffering and problems folks had when it came to watching the event, and it's safe to say it wasn't a great night for the popular streaming service.

Unfortunately for Tyson, things didn't get much better for him after this incident. While he managed to go the distance with Paul, it was quickly clear he was not up for the task of beating his much younger opponent, which led to the fairly tame bout between the two.

Still, the excitement surrounding Tyson's return to boxing was so high that it resulted in this fairly strange incident becoming a viral moment, with McGregor and many others chiming in on it.

While Tyson didn't look great against Paul, he said after the match that he could envision himself returning to the ring again, so it will be interesting to see the future holds for the guy commonly known as the "The Baddest Man on the Planet."
