As millions of people tuned in for Paul vs Tyson it meant the undercard fighters got to perform for a huge audience.
And while most used the limelight to showcase their boxing one fighter has been slammed for his antics in the ring.
Indian-born Neeraj Goyat faced Brazilian Whindersson Nunes in a welterweight bout with the pair being quite evenly matched on paper.

Goyat was the favorite with his professional record standing at 19 wins, four losses and two draws, while the underdog Nunes had 20 wins, four losses and two draws.
But from the moment the bell rang it Goyat came out firing, on all cylinders - even one you wouldn't expect.
As Nunes retreated back to his corner, Goyat was on top when all of a sudden the Brazillian turned his back on him... so what did Goyat do?

He appeared to begin 'dry humping' his counterpart - who was left as stunned as viewers at home were.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "Wtf was that #PaulTyson #GoyatNunes."
While another typed: "That has to be the weirdest thing ever."
And a third slammed Goyat, writing: "Goyat Nunes dry Hump Disrespect. This is a joke man. What a joke for the sport #goyat #nunes #goyatnunes #hump."

A fourth added: "He should be cancelled."
In the end, Goyat won the bout by unanimous decision.
Mike Tyson's return to the ring to fight Jake Paul was anti-climatic to say the least - in fact some people claimed it was 'the most boring boxing fight in the history of boxing'.

I shouldn't wash over Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano, which if you haven't seen the fight you've got to watch the highlights - it was possibly the greatest all-out brawl I've seen in boxing, an absolute epic.
Anyway, Tyson and Paul finally went head-to-head at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with the fight being streamed on Netflix.
The 27-year-old beat the 58-year-old by way of a unanimous decision having gone the distance - after the first two rounds Tyson blew out of steam, which is what you expect to happen when someone nearing 60 takes to the ring.
It's affected his record somewhat with him adding another professional loss.

The hall of famer boasts an impressive professional boxing record with 50 wins, 44 of those being knockouts, and now seven losses, meanwhile his counterpart now has 11 wins, seven knockouts, and one loss.
However, most of the Paul's wins have been made up against UFC fighters, fellow YouTubers, and a former basketball player, the first time fought a professional boxer in Tommy Fury, the little brother of former heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury, he lost.
But in his defense, he has since beat two professional boxers and now an almost 60-year-old Tyson.
