Conor McGregor has reacted to footage of Mike Tyson in his dressing room before his fight against Jake Paul.
Tyson and Paul face off in the AT&T Arena in the main event of Netflix’s first ever live boxing card.
‘Iron Mike’ hasn’t fought professionally since 2005, with the fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds with 14oz gloves.
Throughout the night, Netflix has aired footage of both fighters preparing for the fight, while Ariel Helwani held short interviews with Tyson and Paul.
But fans weren’t prepared for what came up on screen after Tyson had given his interview.
The 58-year-old turned round to embrace one of the members of his team – inadvertently showing his bare posterior front and centre to the camera.
While watching the event, McGregor reacted to the bizarre shot – and his post racked up over 10,000 likes just minutes after he sent it on Twitter.
He wrote: “A solid buttocks, nipples like cigars, knockout power. Mike is truly God’s creation! God bless Iron Mike!”
With a post like that, it’s clear who the Irishman is backing to emerge victorious in Arlington.

Tyson has fought since he retired from professional boxing in 2005, as he faced off against former adversary Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match in 2020.
The New York native stated in his pre-fight press conference that he would not lose against Paul, and slapped him during a dramatic moment as they faced off for the final time.
Speaking after the incident, Tyson explained the incident from his side: “I was in my socks and he had on shoes. He stepped on my toe because he’s a f***ing a**hole.
“I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose. I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate.”
