YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul secures a dominant victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson in an eight-round bout, winning by unanimous decision on points in front of an enthusiastic crowd at AT&T Stadium.
Judges scored the fight 80-72 and 79-73 twice in favour of Paul, who kept Tyson at bay with his superior reach and constant jabs.
Paul enters the crowd for a meet-and-greet after the fight, soaking up cheers from fans and basking in praise for his tactical approach.
Tyson, applauded warmly as he leaves the ring, acknowledges the younger fighter’s skill but reflects that he came into the bout to prove something “only to myself.”
In his post-fight interview, Paul praises Tyson as “one of the greatest to ever do it,” admitting he had to stay cautious to avoid Tyson’s feared knockout power. “I was scared he was going to hurt me,” Paul says, noting he held back on a knockout attempt.
When asked about a potential fight with Mexican champion Canelo Alvarez, Paul suggests Canelo “needs” him for a high-revenue matchup, but refrains from calling him out. Tyson, meanwhile, hints that this may not be his last fight, despite the gruelling toll evident by the end of the match.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson faced a challenging night in the ring as Jake Paul’s relentless jab kept him on the defensive, pushing Paul closer to a points victory in their much-anticipated heavyweight matchup.
The fight at AT&T Stadium saw Tyson initially storm the centre, but Paul quickly established control with a measured, tactical approach.
Tyson’s attempts to close the distance were repeatedly thwarted by Paul’s jab, which kept him at bay and forced the former champion to chase his younger opponent around the ring.
By the fourth round, the tone was set, with Paul dictating the pace, landing punch after punch while Tyson struggled to regain his footing.
In the fifth round, Paul’s powerful right hand wowed the crowd, showcasing his growing dominance. Tyson, although visibly weary, attempted a comeback with a left hook that brought fans to their feet. However, the momentum stayed with Paul, who closed each round with a decisive jab.
After the sixth round, Tyson’s corner urged him on, telling him “you can’t wait,” but Paul’s sharp jab and steady pace made it increasingly challenging for the boxing legend to turn the tide.
Tyson’s powerful punch remained his best hope, but with Paul pulling away on points, Tyson’s comeback window appeared to be closing.
Both fighters landed notable blows early in the bout, but Paul’s consistent jabs and quick footwork left Tyson needing nothing short of a punch for the ages to pull off a victory.
