The match happened in Texas, with Paul, 27, facing off against Tyson, 58. They fought for eight rounds, each lasting two minutes. When it was all over, the judges said Paul won.

Canelo Alvarez, who's won world titles in four different weight classes, told FightHype how he felt about the match:

"I feel sad about what I see from Mike Tyson. Because at his age and everything he can't do that kind of stuff. But it's business for them and it is fine."

Alvarez didn't stop there. He even hinted at wanting to step in for Tyson, saying:

"I think about it when I see that fight, when I see that injustice, but we'll see."

Paul has made it clear he wants to fight Canelo someday. But Canelo, who's 34, says he'll only think about exhibition fights like this when he's done with his regular boxing career.

Right now, Canelo's focused on his next match. He'll likely defend his super-middleweight titles in May next year. The planning for that fight will start in January. There's talk that Terence Crawford might be his opponent.

As for Paul, he's keeping busy in the ring. The former YouTuber turned boxer is looking for his next big challenge after beating Tyson.

This fight between Paul and Tyson sure got people talking. It shows how the world of boxing is changing, with new faces like Paul mixing it up with legends like Tyson. And as Canelo's reaction shows, not everyone's happy about it.
