Jake Paul Triumphs Over Mike Tyson in Lackluster Bout

The YouTube star secures a controversial points victory against the boxing legend in a disappointing display at AT&T Stadium.


Jake Paul's points win over Mike Tyson raises eyebrows in the boxing world, with many questioning the legitimacy of the match as Tyson struggles against the younger fighter, receiving mixed reactions from fans.



In a surprising showdown, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul edged out Mike Tyson in a points victory that left many spectators uninspired. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, drew a crowd of 70,000 fans and millions more on the popular streaming platform Netflix, yet fell flat as Tyson, 58, managed to land only 18 punches throughout the contest.

Paul, despite being a novice in the boxing sphere at 27, displayed impressive athleticism and kept Tyson at bay with a series of jabs over the eight-round match featuring short two-minute intervals. While Tyson received a rousing welcome, his lack of stamina and speed was evident, leading to a chorus of boos as the fight concluded, even prompting some fans to leave before the judges revealed their scores of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73.

The bout faced skepticism regarding its authenticity, especially given Tyson's history of mental decline since a 2005 loss, and the additional layer of curiosity surrounding the match's setup—where participants wore heavier gloves to minimize risk. Nevertheless, Tyson was adamant about his readiness for competition, despite his apparent struggle throughout the fight.

Paul, known for his massive social media following, took this match to notch his 11th professional win, hoping to parlay his success into a future encounter with Canelo Alvarez. He remarked on Alvarez’s growing interest in lucrative matchups, hinting at a potentially lucrative future.

The event brought in significant revenue, including a reported £14.1m from ticket sales alone, although the fight remained underwhelming. Nevertheless, it featured a colorful presentation, with Paul entering the ring in a custom vehicle while a flock of celebrities, alongside other former boxing heavyweights, looked on.

As for Tyson's future in the ring, the questions remain—could this truly be the last glimpse of a once-great champion, or will the allure of the ring lead him back for more? Paul's victory over a fighter who once dominated the sport raises eyebrows across boxing circles and leaves fans pondering the implications of such mismatched bouts.
