Former world champion Mike Tyson conceded defeat to Jake Paul, 31 years his junior, on his return to the boxing ring. The judges' decision in favor of Paul was unanimous.
It was the first official fight since 2005 for the now 58-year-old former heavyweight champion. The event, which was broadcast by streaming provider Netflix and staged as a huge show, was recognized as an official fight. Paul became famous as an influencer and has only been pursuing a career as a boxer since 2020. He recorded his eleventh win in his twelfth fight. 72,300 spectators watched the event at the Dallas Cowboys football stadium.
Tyson started the fight aggressively and landed more punches than his opponent in the first two rounds. In round three, however, Paul's punches were more effective and he briefly caused Tyson to stumble. After that, the younger of the two fighters was also clearly the more agile and had the action largely under control. Tyson's defensive work was good, but he no longer attempted any attacks of his own. In the closing seconds, both stopped the fight and Paul bowed to Tyson.
