Mike Tyson shared an ominous post on social media following Jake Paul's win over Mike Perry.
Paul was supposed to face Tyson last night until the boxing legend withdrew after suffering an ulcer flare on a flight.
Perry replaced 'Iron' Mike as he suffered a sixth round defeat.
'The Problem Child' made no mistake against the Bare Knuckle FC star, but his victory was questioned by fans, who are convinced it was 'rigged' after spotting a moment.

After the bout, Conor McGregor launched a stinging attack on Paul, making a shocking accusation in the process.
Despite having Tyson scheduled for later this year, Paul called out a UFC champion in the ring after his victory over Perry.
The 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion took to social media to react to his upcoming opponent's victory.
He wrote: "Countdown Begins - 118 days - 16 weeks and 6 days - 17 weekends - 2,832 hours - 169,920 minutes - 10,195,200 seconds.
"Clock Starts Now #TysonPaul #TheClockIsTicking #JakesWake."
In a second post on X, Tyson uploaded a video of himself watching the 27-year-old being introduced against Perry in a chilling post.
Paul himself also issued a message on social media as he claimed his fight against Tyson will be the 'biggest combat sport event of the 21st century.'
On X, he wrote: "1) Mike Perry is a fucking beast and has a lot more balls than that little leprechaun 2) Where all those mma experts at that said Mike Perry was going to end me? 3) Next up is me vs Mike Tyson and Serrano vs Taylor on Netflix, November 15th. It will be the biggest combat sport event of the 21st century."
Tyson hasn't fought in a professional contest since June 2005 when he suffered a shock defeat to Ireland's Kevin McBride.
But he returned to action in November 2020 as he took on fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition.
