Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson in lackluster fight: Final results
Most Valuable PromotionsJake Paul faced his most high-profile opponent yet when he took on former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in the boxing ring.
The fight announcement sent shockwaves through the sport, with 58-year-old Tyson stepping inside the ropes for the first time since an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
He took on Paul, who boasted a professional record of nine wins and one defeat before they squared off. The 27-year-old has become one of the biggest draws in boxing since his crossover from being a YouTube star, and he has beaten a number of high-profile former MMA fighters.
But, in Tyson, this is the first time he fought a former boxing world champion and Paul was keen to prove he can mix it in the ring with a boxer after his defeat to Tommy Fury last year.
Despite the 30-year age difference between the pair, the fight captured the imagination of boxing fans, even if some observers were worried about Tyson putting on the gloves again.
There was concern on May 26, after Tyson took ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, but a statement from his representatives assured “Iron Mike” is “feeling great” ahead of the fight.
Despite the event being postponed following Tyson’s ulcer flare-up and other fighters on the card reportedly worried the bout wouldn’t take place at all, the fight is now in the history books and ultimately, it was a dull affair with minimal action through eight two-minute rounds.
