Netflix had the perfect response to NSFW Mike Tyson moment which threatened to derail broadcast of Jake Paul fight

Netflix issued the perfect response after NFSW moment involving Mike Tyson aired on their broadcast of the boxing legend's fight with Jake Paul.

Tyson returned to the ring in a professional capacity for the first time since 2005 and made it 59 career fights with his appearance in the squared circle at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The 58-year-old rolled back the years in the early rounds but soon slowed down and after landing 18 punches, was beaten by Paul, 31 years his junior.

The Problem Child, who claims he refrained from hurting Tyson, recorded an 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 unanimous decision victory on the judges' scorecards.

The bout was shown live on Netflix to millions of viewers around the world and included in subscriptions without any added fee. It wasn't plain-sailing, however, as plenty complained about buffering and poor picture quality.

At one stage, host Kate Abdo also had to apologise for technical issues which occurred.

But by far the most memorable moment from the whole broadcast was the moment everyone got more than they bargained for and saw Tyson's backside in all its glory.

Tyson's son Amir was interviewing him in his dressing room and asking for his pre-fight prediction before the two shared an embrace.

A shirtless Tyson turned away but the camera followed him and couldn't help but focus on his buttocks which were visible in an apron-like outfit he was wearing.

Conor McGregor was among those to react to the NSFW moment. But while it wasn't supposed to happen, Netflix went and posted it on their socials and produced a genius caption which read: "Mike Tyson's pre-fight interview got real cheeky."

Paul claimed the viewing figures recorded for the event were more than the Super Bowl earlier this year and addressed Netflix crashing.

"Everyone's ecstatic. Shout out to Netflix. Amazing partners, amazing people," he commented in his post-fight presser.

"I think it's six times what I thought, but the numbers are still coming in. Netflix crashed, yeah.

“I think it was six times the numbers that I thought, but the numbers are still coming in so it might be more than that. But bigger than the Super Bowl? That’s a little teaser there. Netflix crashed, yeah, but shout out to the Netflix engineers we love you, they fixed it right away."
