Heavyweight legend Mike Tyson was defeated by youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul in an exhibition style professional fight on Friday in Arlington, USA.
In Arlington, Texas, 27-year-old Jake Paul dominated 58-year-old Mike Tyson, winning by unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 79-73).
Against a retreating Tyson, the young boxer confirmed his superiority in a fight that could mark the end of the former heavyweight champion’s career.
Mike Tyson hadn’t fought professionally for almost twenty years. After a good start, he was largely dominated by Jake Paul, who won by unanimous decision after eight two-minute rounds.
“It’s such an honor, Mike Tyson is a legend, the greatest in history, he inspired me. It was very tough as expected,” hailed Jake Paul.
“I’m happy, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but myself, I was happy with what I was able to do,” commented Mike Tyson.
