Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson in lackluster eight-round bout in Texas
Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in an eight-round fight in Arlington, Texas. The match, Tyson's first sanctioned bout in nearly 20 years, drew criticism for its lack of action, with judges scoring it 80-72 and 79-73 in favor of Paul. Despite an aggressive start from Tyson, the fight featured few significant exchanges. Paul, now 11-1, admitted he eased up in later rounds, believing Tyson was tired. The event set a Texas record with nearly $18 million in ticket sales, but Netflix experienced streaming issues during the broadcast. Tyson's record now stands at 50-7, and he expressed personal satisfaction in completing the fight. The undercard featured a draw between Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos for the WBC welterweight title.
