Overview

• The 59-year-old former heavyweight champion delivered a left hook to YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson’s midsection at Allegiant Stadium before the main card.
• Donaldson volunteered to take the punch “to raise awareness” for the event, briefly doubled over and gasped for air, then returned to ringside.
• Tyson laughed after the shot and said he did not use full power, according to reports.
• The video circulated widely online within hours, including millions of views on TikTok.
• The stunt was tied to Saudi-backed Riyadh Season promotion for a Netflix-streamed card with high-profile guests, as Tyson maintains visibility ahead of a scheduled exhibition with Floyd Mayweather in 2026.
