Jake Paul leaves a permanent stain on two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's boxing legacy with a tedious points win in Texas.
Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul left a permanent stain on two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's boxing legacy with a tedious points win in front of 70,000 frustrated fans in Texas - and millions watching the controversial bout on streaming powerhouse Netflix.
Tyson was slow and sluggish. He received a hero's reception before the fight, but there were huge boos as the fight drew to a close.In an uncomfortable moment post-fight, Tyson, after his seventh pro loss in 57 bouts, called out Paul's brother Logan and suggested he could fight again.There were question marks on the legitimacy of this fight and how seriously both men would take it, but Tyson said he "came to fight".
He wins his 11th pro fight, having lost to Tommy Fury last year, and once again reiterated his desire to fight Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. The general feeling was if Tyson was to win he would need to knock Paul out early and, though he landed a right hand in the first, Paul started connecting cleanly with jabs and wobbled Tyson with a left hand in the third.Tyson, a black brace over his right knee, was making Paul miss with some head speed at times. He lunged in with a hook which missed by at least a foot in the fifth, illustrating just how much of a difference the age was making.
Paul was driven to the ring in a customised green car to the tune of Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. His brother, WWE wrestler and fellow social media star Logan Paul, sat beside him. Dressed in his trademark all black, he strutted to the ring sporting the same stern look he has had all week.
