Rikishi sends a message to Mike Tyson moments after his loss to Jake Paul 

Rikishi sent a message to Mike Tyson after he lost to Jake Paul via unanimous decision in their eight-round boxing match. This was Tyson's first professional bout since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005.

Heading into the fight against Tyson, Paul had defeated former UFC fighter Mike Perry. He also holds victories over Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley, among former UFC fighters.

Despite Tyson failing to beat Paul, Rikishi showed respect and gratitude towards the 58-year-old. He also reacted to one of Tyson's clips that went quickly viral on social media.

​

"Baddest Man on the Planet Uce Mike Tyson," wrote Rikishi.

In 1998, at WrestleMania XIV, Tyson was the ringside enforcer to the show's main event between Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin. After referee Mike Chioda took a bump, he jumped in the ring and made the three-count, crowning Austin the new WWF Champion.

In 2012, Tyson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
