Jake Paul has beaten the legendary Mike Tyson via unanimous decision on November 15, Friday in the main event of the blockbuster NetFlix event in Dallas, Texas.

Paul defeated Iron Mike as he made a stellar comeback after losing the first 2 rounds to the legendary boxer. The unofficial scorecard had shown that the fight belonged to Paul with a score of 78-74.

Tyson was making a return to the ring after a 19-year hiatus, while Paul had a record of 10-1 coming to the fight. The bout was initially set for June this year, before an ulcer flare up for Tyson forced the event to be postponed.

There was tension before the match as Tyson proceeded to slap Paul during the weigh-ins and even proclaimed he wouldn’t lose. On the day of the bout, both men would proudly proclaim that they would win, with Paul predicting a knockout. Tyson, on the other hand, simply said ‘a vicious win.’

Paul would be tested in the initial rounds, but fatigue and age caught up to Tyson in the end.
