The initial stop of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson press conference tour arrived in New York City on May 13, where the two competitors met in person for the first time.
Despite starting off like any other press conference, the mood quickly shifted to a comical one as Paul and Tyson answered audience inquiries about their upcoming July 20 boxing match, which will be available on Netflix.
The initial portion proceeded as anticipated, with both Paul and Tyson being given the opportunity to elaborate on their reasons for participating in the fight and their predictions for how it will transpire.
At the pre-fight press conference, one child grabbed the microphone and captured everyone’s attention with a question that was completely unheard of.
Mediator Ariel Helwani initially described the fan as a “young boy,”but it quickly became apparent that the nature of the question would not be appropriate for children.

The young boxing fan introduced himself and expressed his admiration, saying, “I’m a huge fan of both of you. You are both legends.”
Despite not having the chance to ask the question, Tyson wasted no time in responding, “Where is your mother at?”which brought laughter and delight from the audience, filling the arena.
The fan inquired, “Do you think someone has a higher body count? What is your own body count, Jake?”
As a result of that peculiar question, Jake Paul was left speechless, a rare event. Tyson repeated his inquiry, “Where is this kid’s mother?”
Both fighters chose not to respond to the question, while the kid continued to unleash a string of expletives into the microphone, concluding with, “I have so much love for you all, you motherf*****!”
The video quickly became a sensation on social media, revealing that this was not the first time the young fan had taken control of a microphone.

According to an update from the X account Fight Crack, the individual seen in a previous Sidetalk NYC video challenging NBA star Joel Embiid to a fight after a Knicks win against the 76ers is the same person.
During a press conference full of memorable moments, the conversation between the young fan, Tyson, and Paul will be etched in the memories of all who witnessed it.
