In the match on the night of November 15 (local time), Mike Tyson, 58 years old, suffered a defeat to Jake Paul – a YouTuber turned boxer. Although praised for his ability to last 8 rounds at this age, the performance of the legendary Mike Tyson was generally disappointing in a rather one-sided match.

With the advantage of youth and health, Jake Paul entered the match as a strong candidate against an opponent 30 years older than him. In fact, this was not only a confrontation between Tyson and Paul, but also a battle between Tyson and time, and time is always the undefeated one.

After some aggressive efforts in the first round, Tyson was almost exhausted for the rest of the fight. He only threw 97 punches and landed 18 times in the 8 rounds. Jake Paul easily won by overwhelming scores from the judges.

Despite the loss, Tyson still set a new world record. The fight came 14,499 days (nearly 40 years) after his debut on March 6, 1985, making Tyson the boxer with the longest professional career among the 111 heavyweight champions ever. This record surpasses the records of Roy Jones Jr. (12,384 days) and Jack Johnson (12,231 days).

Tyson also earned around $20 million from the event, an impressive figure for a fight that was not very competitive. Despite not winning, Tyson still proved that he is still one of the biggest names in the boxing world.

This fight also showed the big difference between Tyson and Paul. While Tyson was once one of the top heavyweight champions in the world, Paul was still a new name in the boxing world. However, with his confidence and skills, Paul proved that he could become a formidable opponent in the future.
