Do you agree with the judges? Rewatch the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight on Netflix
On Friday night, veteran boxer Mike Tyson took on Jake Paul in a heavyweight boxing match that lasted all eight rounds. Paul, who rose to fame as a YouTuber before transitioning to a boxing career in 2020, won by unanimous decision in a fight that most viewers described as dirty.
After achieving legendary status in the ring as a heavyweight champion with a career that began in the 1980s, Tyson retired professionally in 2005 and then laced up his gloves to play exhibition matches for a few years. The 58-year-old’s last fight was in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., another former world champion. Paul, who is 27, had been training for months after their original fight was postponed. The pair’s training journey is captured in the Netflix documentary, Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson.
On Thursday evening, Tyson punched Paul in the face during the pair’s standoff at the weigh-in after Paul crawled onto the stage, stepped on Tyson’s foot and got in his face.
Paul and Tyson have been promoting this Netflix match all year, which was postponed from its original date of July 20. The event will be broadcast live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will feature a series of preliminary matches before the main card on Friday night.
In-ring commentary was provided by Roy Jones Jr., Mauro Ranallo and Rosie Perez. Sean Wheelock was the rules and scoring expert, with Mark Calo-oy as referee.
