In a controversial boxing match due to the age difference, YouTuber Jake Paul defeated legend Mike Tyson by points after 8 rounds of competition.

The highly anticipated boxing match between YouTuber Jake Paul and Mike Tyson took place at AT&T Stadium (Dallas, USA)

However, this match did not go as many people expected. In part because this was not a high-level match. Jake Paul has only been a professional boxer since 2020 and often chooses opponents over 35 years old to compete. Meanwhile, Mike Tyson is 58 years old.

Mike Tyson was only physically fit enough to fight the first two rounds. For the rest of the time (6 rounds), he mainly played defense and almost did not attack because he was tired.

Jake Paul is 31 years younger than Mike Tyson, but he did not really fight fiercely. In fact, in the final round, the audience booed when the two fighters did not fight fiercely. Instead of attacking, Jake Paul slowed down the match and bowed to Mike Tyson.

After the match, Jake Paul shared: “I didn’t want to knock Mike out. I just wanted to dance with him. I just wanted Mike to get paid.”

It is estimated that Jake Paul will receive a bonus of 40 million USD in this match, while Mike Tyson will receive more than 20 million USD.
