Mike Tyson Suffers Defeat In The Hands Of 27-Year-Old Jake Paul
One of the wildest spectacles in recent sports history ended on Friday night.
Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a unanimous decision in a fight streamed live by Netflix and held in front of more than 70,000 spectators at AT&T Stadium.
The heavyweight boxing matchup followed a sometimes antics build-up between the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion and the 27-year-old social media sensation. For example, on Thursday’s weigh-in, Tyson slapped Paul in the face.
Paul went into the fight as a betting favorite, but it’s unlikely that everyone will cash in, like two boxers. Paul is expected to earn $40million and Tyson $20 million.
It was Tyson’s first professional fight since 2005, and his career record dropped to 50-7.
It was Paul’s biggest moment in his boxing career, which began less than 5 years ago. He signed an 11-1 major League record and entered the active roster.
