Not so long ago, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson went at it in the ring for Neftlix’s first live boxing match at AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys).
The fight drew an impressive 60 million viewers worldwide and even though the fight in itself was a dissapointment, it was a huge success for the streaming platform.
During the promotion of the match tempers flared as Paul and Tyson went at it in full attack mode and the former heavyweight champion of the world even slapped the actor and youtuber during their weigh-in, which helped built the expectation for the bout.
Tyson and Paul bury the hatchet
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were among the many athletes and celebrities that were invited to Donald Trump’s Inauguration ceremony this Monday at the nation’s Capitol, as well as leaders from various nations, billionaires, politicians and artists.
Former boxer Evander Holyfield, Logan Paul (Jake’s brother), former UFC champion Conor McGregor, Chicago Bears‘ iconic linebacker Brian Urlacher and former Pittsburgh Steelers players Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown were also some of Trump’s guests.

Many thought that having Tyson and Paul in the same room would turn into an ugly scene but it was quite the contrary: a video posted by Jake on Instagram shows a moment where he picks up “Iron Mike” as the boxing legend looks terrified at first but then seems to enjoy the stunt. Holyfield and Logan Paul posed for a picture in what seems like a great time they all had.
Trump vows to bring in the “revolution of common sense”
Donald Trump was sworn in as the new president of the United States on Monday. In his speech, he stressed his desire to make America “greater than ever” and the “common sense revolution.”
In part of his speech, he said: “Today is Martin Luther King Day and it’s going to be a great honor and in his honor, we’re going to make his dream come true. We’re going to make his dream, Martin Luther King’s dream, come true.
“This national unity is returning to the United States and confidence and pride is flourishing like never before. In everything we do, my government will be inspired by that quest for excellence and success. We are not going to forget our country. We are not going to forget our Constitution. And we are not going to forget our God. We cannot do that.
“Today, I’m going to sign a series of executive orders to help restore the United States and the revolution of common sense.”
