Mike Tyson revealed he faced serious health issues before his fight with Jake Paul. He stated he "almost died" in June, requiring eight blood transfusions and losing 25 pounds in the hospital. This led to the fight's delay from July to November. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to Tyson's health problems, including an ulcer flare-up. After eight rounds, Paul won by unanimous decision against the 58-year-old Tyson. The event also featured a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, where Taylor won again by a controversial unanimous decision. Other fights included a split draw between Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos, and Neeraj Goyat's victory over Whindersson Nunes.
