Jake Paul parties with 'best friend' Mike Tyson at Trump's inauguration

Jake Paul partied with Mike Tyson at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, 20 January, describing his former boxing opponent as his “best friend” in the caption of an Instagram video.

The pair attended the president’s Starlight Ball, one of three inaugural presidential balls celebrating the Republican officially being sworn into office.

Footage showed Paul, 28, hoisting Tyson, 58, onto his shoulders, while a crowd cheered them on — a very different relationship to the one the pair have displayed previously, in which they threw verbal jabs at each other ahead of last November’s bout.
