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 great time with fellow revelers as Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

Paul was a big supporter of Trump throughout his 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 when they took a bus over to the event.
He also fired two positions at X when Trump was sworn in.

“Today is about unity in every way. Fists down, unity up. Honored 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 endorsed Trump during his 2016 campaign. Their relationship dates back to when Trump had casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Tyson was at the height of his boxing career.
