In a shocking upset, 27-year-old YouTube sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson, 58, via unanimous decision in an eight-round fight at AT&T Stadium in Texas. The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in Paul’s favor.
Paul’s youth, agility and strategic training proved pivotal, as he outmaneuvered Tyson, landing 78 punches to Tyson’s 18. Paul dominated early rounds, exploiting Tyson’s slower pace. By round four, Tyson’s stamina waned, allowing Paul to land decisive blows.
The highly-anticipated bout generated approximately $75 million in revenue.
Paul secured his 11th win (7 KOs, 1 loss), solidifying his position in boxing’s elite. His trainer praised his “disciplined performance,” while Tyson conceded, “Jake was faster, stronger.”
Speculated future matchups include Jake Paul vs. Logan Paul, a sibling rivalry showdown, and Jake Paul vs. Canelo Alvarez, a potential super-fight.
