Nick Kyrgios makes rude confession on never-before-heard tennis habit

Nick Kyrgios has made a bizarre and revealing confession in the wake of Mike Tyson's blockbuster bout against Jake Paul. The former undisputed heavyweight champion was bested by the YouTube-turned-boxing sensation, who is 31 years younger than the boxing superstar. While there was much anticipation ahead of the fight, a bizarre moment unfolded in Tyson's dressing room, with Netflix's appearing to broadcast the American's bare backside on live television. Reacting to the hilarious viral moment, Kyrgios had a confession of his own about his pre-match routine. Speaking to Jase and Lauren on Nova 100 this week, the polarising tennis star admitted that like Tyson, he doesn't like to wear pants while on the tennis court. 'Just off the back of Tyson, you always wear pants in the dressing room, don't you? Just in case the camera grabs,' Jase asked. 'I actually don’t! I free ball! Fun fact for you guys, I free ball when I play tennis, so when I'm playing the Grand Slams, you can just picture me now, free balling… fun fact for you!' Kyrgios replied. Jase pressed the tennis player further on his claim, asking: 'Yeah, forget how he's feeling in the lead up to the AO, no undies Nick! Really?' 'I need to feel it nice and free down there when I got break points,' Kyrgios replied. The Aussie also lumped praise on Paul, for the work he has done to establish himself in the boxing world. 'Jake Paul is a hell of an athlete,' Kyrgios added. 'He's put the work in. You can't deny that he's a legit boxer at the moment. He's one of the biggest names in entertainment. So he's at that point where he can literally put anyone in front of him. 'People are going to, I mean, we’re the idiots to be honest! We’re the idiots that are sitting down streaming it. But like, look props to both of them. I mean, look, Tyson, to even get in the ring at 60 is incredible. I mean, I don't, he looked like he was struggling, but those guys are some smart businessmen. That's all I'm gonna say.' The Aussie tennis superstar is set to make a return to the tennis court later this December at the World Tennis League exhibition event in Abu Dhabi after having been plagued by a spate of injuries over the past two years. He has played once competitively during that time but is gearing up for a return to the court at this summer's Australian Open. Kyrgios is itching to get back onto the court, but revealed the one thing that seems to annoy him about the way in which tennis is played, claiming that people are just too pally on the court. 'I think it's a very interesting time at the moment in the tennis world,' he said during his interview on Nova 100. 'Obviously, we see, you know, Djokovic, you know, I think we could all say he's at the tail end of his career. He's still a phenomenal player. 'But Nadal, literally, today, officially, his last ever time we're going to see him on the court. Federer gone. So look, there are some amazing players still out there, but I think the game's a bit bland at the moment. And, you know, everyone's liking each other, and everyone's friends with each other. And I just, I hate that s***, to be honest. 'Everyone's everyone's best mate. And I'm just like, that's not, I mean, as Aussies as well, you look at our sports, their rough as anything. AFL, NRL. That's why we watch, we watch for entertainment, we watch for bad blood, we watch for, you know, something maybe happening. 'I'm all for being friends off the court, and I just think there's a bit too much respect in inside the lines at the moment in the tennis world.'
