Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson in unanimous decision at Texas boxing match
Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in an eight-round boxing match in Arlington, Texas. The fight, which was heavily promoted, ended with scores of 80-72 and 79-73, but failed to deliver the expected excitement. Tyson, in his first sanctioned fight since 2005, started aggressively but did not maintain the pace. 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. The match was Netflix's first live combat sports event, but the streaming service experienced technical issues. The fight drew significant celebrity attention, including Shaquille O'Neal and Rob Gronkowski, but left many fans disappointed.
