WATCH: Mike Tyson Climbs on Jake Paul’s Shoulders as Logan Paul Screams ‘America’ at Inaugural Ball

Boxers Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were in high spirits months after a highly contested fight, celebrating Donald Trump’s MAGA victory together.

Retired boxer Mike Tyson, a longtime acquaintance of President Donald Trump, climbed onto the shoulders of his former opponent Jake Paul while Jake’s brother Logan enthusiastically screamed “America” on Monday evening. The three were celebrating Trump’s ascension to the White House in Washington D.C. at the post-inauguration Starlight Ball. Businessman Derek Utley posted video of the surreal scene to his Instagram account. Tyson, 58, lost a professional fight to Jake, 28, in November via unanimous decision, but he appeared to be on good terms with the influencer Paul brothers. The former heavyweight champ raised and pumped his fists while a red-faced Jake supported his powerful frame—Logan took video before coming to their side and letting out several exuberant shouts. They were then joined by another former heavyweight champion of the world, Evander Holyfield, who smiled and posed with the group. Holyfield had a much more infamous run-in with Tyson in the ring: Iron Mike was disqualified for biting part of his ear off in a 1997 bout. Pod bro Joe Rogan and Swingers actor Vince Vaughn were also on hand at the Starlight Ball, Utley’s account shows.
