In an unexpected turn of events, Jake Paul claimed a unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson this Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The young YouTuber-turned-boxer showed impressive skill and agility, securing scores of 80-72 and two counts of 79-73 from the judges. Despite Tyson’s efforts to set a fast pace early on, Paul’s advantages in youth and speed were unmistakable. He managed to keep Tyson at bay with effective long-range punches, leading to a significant difference in hits with Paul landing 60 more punches than Tyson.

At 27 years old and holding a record now of 11 wins (7 by knockout) and only one loss, Jake Paul has been on a victorious streak after bouncing back from his defeat against Tommy Fury earlier in February 2023. On the other hand, Mike Tyson, aged 58 with a history of 50 wins (44 by knockout) and now seven losses, was coming off a long hiatus. His last fight before stepping into the ring with Paul was an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, making this bout his first official match since retiring mid-fight against Kevin McBride back in June 2005.
