- Takes home consolatory $20m
Mike Tyson was defeated on Saturday morning by Jake Paul by unanimous decision in a fight that lasted just two minutes.
The Tyson vs Paul bout was livestreamed by Netflix and held in front of more than 70,000 spectators at AT&T Stadium.
The 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion could not stand a chance against the 27-year-old social media sensation, even though Paul fought Tyson with respect.
Paul had his hand raised and won by unanimous decision with one judge scoring the fight 80-72, and the other two 79-73 in his favour.
Paul is expected to earn $40 million, while Tyson will take home $20 million from the fight.
It was Tyson’s first pro fight since 2005 and Paul showed Tyson respect by bowing to him in the final seconds of the fight.
