Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were once enemies in the ring, but on Monday night they appeared to be best friends as they celebrated President Trump’s inauguration.
Video from the Starlight Ball showed Tyson on Paul’s shoulders at one point during the festivities. The two boxers appeared to be having a great time with other partygoers as Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

Paul was a major supporter of Trump throughout his election campaign. He was seen at the inauguration earlier in the day at the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. He was with his brother Logan and UFC star Conor McGregor as they took a bus to the event.
He also deleted two posts about X while Trump was being sworn in.

“Today is about unity in every way. Fists down, unity up high. Honored to be here. God bless America,” Paul wrote.
“Any American who doesn’t support Trump after this speech simply hates America and doesn’t want what’s best for this country and the world,” he added.
Tyson supported Trump during his 2016 campaign. Their relationship dated back to when Trump had casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Tyson was at the height of his boxing career.
