Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a boxing match on Friday night, but UFC president Dana White acknowledged that Tyson showed resilience despite his age and physical limitations. White admitted he underestimated Tyson's ability to withstand Paul's attacks. Tyson, at 58, landed only 18 punches in eight rounds, highlighting his decline. Paul faced criticism for not delivering a decisive performance against an aging opponent, which could harm his reputation as a boxer. Both fighters are expected to earn significant money from the event, with estimates in the eight figures. Paul is now looking to challenge more prominent figures in combat sports to enhance his credibility.
