Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match that left many fans disappointed. The fight, which took place on November 15 in Texas, ended with Paul winning by unanimous decision after eight rounds.
The event got a lot of attention, breaking viewership records in boxing. It was streamed live on Netflix, with a great undercard fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano that might be named Fight of the Year.
At first, Tyson looked like he could keep up. But Paul's youth quickly took over, and he cruised to an easy win. After the fight, Tyson said he was proud of how he did and confirmed it was his last time in the ring.
Many people in boxing weren't happy about the fight. Gervonta Davis, the WBA Lightweight World Champion known for his powerful punches, shared his thoughts in a media interview:
"Who told Mike Tyson to fight anyway? Yeah [it tarnished Mike's legacy]. It definitely did. For some money."
Davis, who's known for his knockout power with 28 KOs in 30 fights, has been compared to Tyson in the past. His opinion matches many others in boxing who didn't like the event.
The fight will likely help Jake Paul's career. He's already getting offers to fight big names like Artur Beterbiev, Gilberto Ramirez, and Daniel Dubois. Whatever Paul does next will probably bring in a lot of money and viewers.
The fight had been postponed earlier because Tyson was seriously ill. When it finally happened, many found it sad to watch due to the 31-year age gap between the 27-year-old Paul and the 58-year-old Tyson.
