Paul, a 28-year-old YouTube star turned boxer, won by unanimous decision after eight rounds against the 58-year-old heavyweight legend. This was Tyson's first professional fight in almost 20 years.
Before the fight, many people thought it wasn't a good idea for Tyson to return to boxing at his age. The promoters hyped up the event a lot, but the actual fight didn't live up to expectations. Tyson wasn't as strong or fast as he used to be in his prime.
After the fight, Tyson had some nice things to say about Paul. He told reporters:
"Let me just be honest, he's improved a lot. Yes. He has improved a lot."
Tyson also said Paul is "talented" and "punches hard."
At first, Tyson said he wanted to keep fighting. But he quickly changed his mind and decided to retire again.
Paul isn't slowing down, though. He's set to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. This fight is part of Paul's plan to work towards a world title.
Paul's win over Tyson shows how far he's come in boxing. Even though Tyson isn't in his prime anymore, beating such a famous boxer is a big deal for Paul.
Before the fight, Tyson praised Paul's improvement, showing that even boxing legends are starting to take Paul seriously.
This fight marks the end of Tyson's long and famous career. For Paul, it's another step towards his goal of becoming a world champion boxer.
