Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in an exhibition match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday. Paul won by unanimous decision after eight two-minute rounds, landing 78 punches compared to Tyson's 18. This match marked Tyson's return to boxing nearly 19 years after his last professional fight in 2005. The bout used heavier gloves and shorter rounds than typical professional matches. The fight was originally scheduled for July but was postponed due to Tyson's medical issues related to a bleeding ulcer. Paul is now one of only six fighters to have beaten Tyson.
