Combat sports fans were severely shocked by Jake Paul's recent Instagram post, involving his upcoming rival, Mike Tyson. The video in Paul's post showcased him engaging in an NSFW act with his opponent.
The coveted boxing bout between Paul and Tyson is just days away. Previously, the encounter was scheduled for July 20. But 'Kid Dynamite's' illness caused the event to go through a change of dates and now is scheduled for Nov. 15.
There has been much animosity between the two during the buildup to the fight, with Tyson even shoving off Paul in one of the face-offs. However, Paul's Instagram video stretched far away from reality.
While Tyson and Paul are currently focusing on how to knock the lights out of each other, 'The Problem Child's' Instagram video displayed the pair kissing each other in multiple situations.
The fans flooded the comments section of Paul's post with shocked expressions. A few of them read:
"Wtf am I watching"
"AI getting too real"
"Too much!"
"Jake WTF😂😂"

Mike Tyson's former rival predicted Jake Paul's tactics to stay safe from 'Iron Mike'
Only a few people have been able to get the better of Mike Tyson during his days in the sport. One of them was the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis. The British-born boxer locked horns with Tyson in June 2002 in the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee, where he defeated 'Kid Dynamite' via KO in the eighth round.
Lewis recently appeared in an interview with Sky Sports Boxing, where he talked about several aspects related to his former rival's upcoming encounter against Jake Paul.
At a point, Lewis criticized Paul's promotional tactics to stay relevant in the game. Before this, he also predicted what Paul would do to keep himself safe from Tyson's heavy strikes. Lewis said:
"Mike Tyson, [will be] just kind of cutting off the ring and throwing body and head blows, when he can catch up to Jake Paul. I'm sure Jake Paul will be moving fast, moving around the ring. He's not going to want to stand there and get hit by Mike Tyson! I'll be there and it's going to be exciting."
