Jake Paul and Mike Tyson's reunion led to a hilarious moment after coming face-to-face for the first time since their fight.
Paul and 58-year-old heavyweight legend Tyson met in a blockbuster event last November, which saw the YouTuber-turned-boxer beat the former undisputed champion.

Despite the sad end to the professional career of Tyson, the pair earned huge $20million paydays, with the event breaking records including by attracting 108 million viewers on Netflix.
Tyson and Paul have taken a break from the sport since, with the former now unlikely to return to the ring after struggling physically with the demands.
But the pair were spotted together at a surprise reunion at newly-elected US president Donald Trump's inauguration.
Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the US, and both Paul and Tyson attended multiple galas in Washington.
And in an incredible video, the pair went viral after Paul decided to get the heavyweight legend on his shoulders.
The other attendees gathered around them and cheered as Tyson looked like he was having the time of his life in a wholesome moment.
It was clear there was no animosity from their boxing clash, with the pair clearly in a playful mood.
Paul captioned the X post 'best friends', and the video equally sent fans into a frenzy.
One wrote: "Well they did makes millions together. I’d be best friends too."
Another messaged: "They are celebrating the fact they both made $20million from a fight."

A third added: "This is pretty incredible. Mike is the man."
This user then commented: "I love this, Jake showed A LOT of class in that fight, Mike a great champion.
"This video is epic and real, Not acting, real energy of two home boys having fun. Salud."
One even suggested the pair should now have a working relationship, insisting: "Train Jake bring him to the next level.
"Jake will be heavyweight champion if you train him for the future."
Paul and Tyson worked as a commercial partnership, and although their fight failed to live up to imagination, it delivered huge financial numbers.

The 'Problem Child' will now have a busy 2025 in the boxing ring, with a huge list of fighters calling him out on the back of his success over Tyson.
Meanwhile it is a relief for boxing fans to see Tyson back to full health, having claimed he came close to death in the build-up to the fight.
He said after the bout: "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won," Tyson said as he returned to social media after the defeat.
"I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had eight blood transfusions.
"Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
"To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish eight rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you."
