Mike Tyson faced Jake Paul in a boxing match on Friday, marking Tyson's first professional fight in 19 years. Paul won by decision after eight rounds, despite criticism for his performance and the significant age gap of 31 years between the fighters. The co-main event featured Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, which became the most viewed professional women's sporting event in U.S. history, with nearly 50 million households tuning in. Taylor won by a controversial unanimous decision, despite landing fewer punches than Serrano. Netflix reported a peak viewership of 65 million for the event, as it entered the sports broadcasting arena.
