Jake Paul claimed a unanimous victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated bout at AT&T Stadium, Texas, on 15 November, 2024.
The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer dominated the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion in a match streamed live on Netflix, drawing 72,300 fans. Despite early hype, Tyson struggled to keep up, landing only 18 punches against Paul’s 78. Tyson, battling a leg injury, remained defensive but couldn’t mount a significant offense.
Leading up to the fight, tension peaked when Tyson slapped Paul at the weigh-in, showcasing the heated rivalry. Betting odds heavily favored Tyson initially, with most bets backing him for a knockout, but Paul’s younger stamina proved decisive.
This clash was Netflix’s first live boxing broadcast, achieving record viewership and gate sales. Tyson, while non-committal about future fights, emphasized that his return wasn’t for financial reasons but to test himself once more in the ring. Both fighters walk away with impressive earnings — Paul took $40 million and Tyson secured $20 million.
Paul now eyes future opponents, possibly even Canelo Alvarez, after this record-breaking event.
