Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match that got everyone talking. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer won against the 58-year-old former heavyweight champ after eight rounds.
Paul's been in the ring before, mostly against older and smaller ex-UFC fighters. He lost to Tommy Fury, his first real boxer opponent, but bounced back big time against Tyson.
Tyson, who quit boxing in 2005 after losing twice in a row, didn't look great in the fight. He seemed to show his age and couldn't keep up with Paul. ESPN reported that Tyson was "largely uncompetitive" throughout the match.
After the win, Paul said he held back to avoid a dangerous knockout. But not everyone's buying it. Shannon Briggs, another former heavyweight champ from Brooklyn like Tyson, called Paul out on Instagram.
"You wanna run it, or just run? Mike [Tyson] wanted the money I just want [blood]. Let's go champ!"
Briggs used to train Jake and his brother Logan. Now, he wants to "end" the crossover boxing scene he helped create. He's not happy about non-boxers getting into the ring and wants to "hurt" them.
Paul will probably fight someone closer to his own age next time. A rematch with Tommy Fury might be a good move for him.
This fight was one of the most-watched sporting events in recent years. It's part of a trend where non-boxers, like YouTubers, are getting into professional boxing. Some folks love it, but others think it's bad for traditional boxing.
The big age gap between Paul and Tyson got people talking too. In boxing, age matters a lot because it's such a physical sport. Some say Paul's got an unfair advantage fighting much older guys.
