Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by points in an eight-round boxing match in Texas, marking a significant moment for both fighters. Paul, 27, outperformed the 58-year-old Tyson, who had not fought professionally in 19 years, landing 78 punches compared to Tyson's 18. The fight, streamed on Netflix, drew a crowd of 70,000 but ended with boos from fans disappointed by the lack of action. Tyson's performance raised questions about his readiness to compete, as he struggled against the younger, more agile Paul. Despite the lackluster bout, Paul celebrated his 11th professional win and expressed interest in fighting Canelo Alvarez. Tyson, after his seventh loss, hinted at a possible return to the ring, suggesting he might fight again.
