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.
A video from the Starlight Ball showed Tyson on Paul’s shoulders at one point during the festivities. Both boxers were apparently having a lot of fun with other revelers when Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.

Paul was a huge supporter of Trump throughout his election campaign. He was seen at the inauguration that same day in 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 posted two posts about X while Trump was taking the oath of office.

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