Boxing fans took to social media to show concern for Evander Holyfield during Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul.

The former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion was in the studio at the AT&T Stadium in Texas alongside host Kate Scott and former ring legend Lennox Lewis. But Holyfield appeared ill at ease, seemingly not hearing Scott's questions and asking Lewis to repeat them.

Holyfield's behaviour did not go unnoticed with one fan saying: "Holyfield not being able to hear during the interviews and nobody making a joke about his ear being bitten off is a massive fumble for Netflix." Another said: "Evander Holyfield don’t have a clue what’s going on" while yet another added: "This Evander Holyfield segment is absolutely wild."

It seemed Holyfield's earpiece wasn't working but fans were less than forgiving. "Evander Holyfield just made more money staring off into the distance for five minutes than I have in my entire adult life," said another.
