Nick Kyrgios Admits to Going Commando on Court After Viral Mike Tyson Video
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios revealed that he doesn’t wear underwear during matches, inspired by a humorous incident involving Mike Tyson. The former heavyweight boxer was caught with his backside exposed in the locker room before his fight with Jake Paul—a moment that went viral. Kyrgios shared this on the Jase and Lauren on Nova 100 podcast.
The hosts brought up the Tyson clip and asked Kyrgios about his own match-day gear in case of similar mishaps. Kyrgios candidly admitted that he skips underwear altogether on court.
"I need to feel it nice and free down there when I got break points," Kyrgios explained with his trademark openness.
The Australian also shared his thoughts on the current state of tennis, criticizing the overly respectful behavior among players. He believes this dynamic has made the game less exciting, stating that tennis lacks the toughness seen in other sports.
Nick Kyrgios has won seven ATP titles and was a Wimbledon finalist in 2022. His career-high ATP ranking is 13th, which he achieved in October 2016.
