Highlights: Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson via unanimous decision in boxing match
Social media star Jake Paul defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson via unanimous decision late Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in one of the most improbable matchups in the sport’s history.
All three judges ruled the fight in favor of Paul, with scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.
The win improves Paul’s professional record to 11-1 while dropping Tyson to 50-7.
“He’s exactly what I thought, one of the greatest to ever do it,” Paul said after the fight.
Tyson was asked if he was officially done boxing. He said he wasn’t sure.
“I don’t think so,” Tyson said on the broadcast. “Maybe the brother (Logan Paul).”
Paul, 27, a social media star with more than 27 million Instagram followers and nearly 21 million YouTube subscribers, cruised in the bout.
After a first round that saw Tyson aggressive, his age caught up to him. Tyson appeared slow for most of the fight and barely landed any significant punches. His offensive output dropped considerably from the mid-rounds on. The much younger Paul peppered his opponent with jabs and hooks throughout the bout while taking little damage.
