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.
