In a highly anticipated bout on Friday night, 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision. The judges scored the fight decisively in Paul's favor, with one judge marking it 80-72 and the other two at 79-73.
Tyson, making his first sanctioned professional appearance in nearly two decades, initiated the fight aggressively, delivering swift punches immediately after the opening bell. However, as the match progressed, he struggled to maintain momentum. Paul capitalized on this, adopting a more assertive approach, though some of his punches lacked precision. Despite these moments, Paul managed to secure the win.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed after Tyson experienced a health issue during a flight, leading to treatment for a stomach ulcer. The rescheduled match took place on November 15, marking a significant event in both fighters' careers.
This victory adds to Paul's growing boxing record, while Tyson's return to the ring, despite the loss, was a notable moment for fans and the boxing community.
