58-year-old Mike Tyson holds out for 8 rounds, but the victory goes to Jake Paul unanimously
YouTube star Jake Paul has defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson for the 7th time in his career. 19 years after his last professional bout, the 58-year-old “Iron Mike” lost by unanimous decision.
50 wins, 44 hits. Mike Tyson’s record still looks impressive, but just how “bad” was “The Baddest Man on the Planet”?
58-year-old Mike Iron was eager to dust off his boxing gloves. The three-time world champion also started strongly, delivering several blows to Jake Paul in the opening rounds.
But the age difference – not less than 31 years – gradually became clear. Jake Paul took control as soon as Mike Tyson started breathing heavier. His taped right knee also seemed to limit his movements.
“You need to be more aggressive,” Tyson was told from his corner before the final round, but he no longer had a finishing blow in his arsenal. Tyson lasted 8 rounds, but it is clear that his glory days are long behind him .
Jake Paul also couldn’t get the boxing veteran to his knees. Out of respect or out of fear of running into a counter? The jury unanimously won the YouTube phenomenon.
The figures do not lie. Jake Paul landed 278 punches, 78 of which were hits. Mike Tyson only threw 97 pounds, and 18 of them hit.
The victory was no surprise to the young American, although Iron Mike’s age will always be an important label attached to the fight.
“He’s the Goat”
Because Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were fake before boxing camp, they loved each other so much after 8 rounds.
“He’s the GOAT, he’s an icon,” said Paul, who bowed to his opponent after the final bell. “It was an honor to fight him. “
Mike Tyson also called Jake Paul “a real boxer”. He was also “pleased” with his performance. “I didn’t have to prove anything to anyone but myself,” he said.
Jake Paul wins by unanimous decision
Mike Tyson started strong in the first two rounds, but quickly seemed to exhaust his energy reserves. Jake Paul took advantage of the age difference to take on more. That’s how the jury saw it: 80-72, 79-73.
Resolution 8
Jake Paul is also closing in on the last lap. It has never been a real boxing match, but it seems that the victory goes to the YouTube star.
7th round
Jake Paul still has the advantage. Mike Tyson proves that his best days are already behind him. As fast as the boxing camp grew, it was so uninteresting in the ring.
6th round: no decision
It is not a real boxing camp for 6 rounds. Jake Paul also seems to be getting a little tired. Jake Paul tries to hit Mike Tyson with jabs, Iron Mike seems to be waiting for his chance for a surprise punch.
5th round: Paul takes over
Mike Tyson now has to face the fight. He takes, among other things, a strong left. Sometimes Jake Paul leaves his cover, but not much comes from his opponent.
Round 4: Tyson tires
Mike Tyson doesn’t accomplish much in the 4th round. He limits himself to avoiding punches. Although the three-time world champion showed himself in the first two rounds, it seems that he is now tired. How long can this 58-year-old keep it up?
Round 3
Mike Tyson starts the 3rd round strong, but Jake Paul has a strong response ready. Looks like Iron Mike needs some time to recover. This round is for the YouTube star.
Round 2
Mike Tyson goes for body shots, punches to the body. Jake Paul responds cautiously, but seems to want to wear the 58-year-old veteran down a bit first.
Round 1
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul felt each other out. Iron Mike hit first with a left, but Jake also hit Paul with a right hook. The first close round.
The public already has Mike Tyson on his side. There are boos in Dallas at the performance of YouTube phenomenon Jake Paul. Then Mike Tyson will get a lot more support.
Iron Mike is there
He hasn’t been in the ring for a professional camp for over 19 years, but Iron Mike Tyson is back. In 2005 he ended his career with a loss. Can he still add a 51st victory?
“The wait is over”
Jake Paul is the first to enter the arena in Dallas. Together with his brother Logan Paul, they drive in a bright green Chevrolet. It can count as an entry.
It depends on the main characters
The boxing ring is free for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. How much gunpowder is left in the beats of the 58-year-old American, who became a world champion three times? Or can Jake Paul, 31 years younger, excel?
Katie Taylor is still a champion
Katie Taylor has defeated Amanda Serrano again. The Irish lightweight world champion was awarded the unanimous decision, although the Puerto Rican protested immediately. Serrano landed more punches and also felt that Taylor used her head too much to do damage.
“Tonight we show the world what we’re made of”
First pro camp in … 19 years
Mike Tyson has finished exhibition fights, but for his last professional fight we have to go back to 2005. Then the three-time world champion lost against the Irishman Kevin McBride, the 6th loss in his profession. Iron Mike can win 50 victories, 44 of them by knockout.
Jake Paul can’t offer that much experience yet. The 27-year-old American has won 10 fights in his career, most of them against veteran MMA fighters such as Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva. In 2023 he suffered his only loss to date against Tommy Fury, brother of world champion Tyson Fury. The Briton came out on top in a split decision.
8 rounds of 2 minutes
A 58-year-old boxer is not allowed to enter the ring everywhere. In Texas they allowed the boxing camp between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, but with changes.
Instead of 10 to 12 rounds of 3 minutes, there will now be a maximum of 8 rounds of 2 minutes. The boxing gloves are also weighted, so that the blows are not as hard.
The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is part of a boxing night in Dallas. The match is scheduled for around 5am Belgium time, but depending on the other boxing camps, this could move.
