In a shocking turn of events, Jake Paul defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated live-streamed match on Netflix.
The fight, which had been delayed for four months, saw the 27-year-old social media star overpower the 58-year-old Tyson in a unanimous decision after eight intense rounds.
The bout, which took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was filled with tension from the start. Both fighters had made bold claims leading up to the event.
Tyson, known for his aggressive nature, vowed to “hurt” Paul, while the YouTube sensation confidently declared he was ready for the fight of his life.

Despite early technical difficulties with the Netflix stream, which caused brief connection issues, the fight quickly gained momentum.
By the second round, Paul’s speed and precision began to take over, leaving Tyson struggling to keep up. His relentless attacks, combined with his younger energy, ultimately earned him the victory.
“I’m bringing the devil himself to the ring,” Tyson had warned before the fight, but it was Paul who proved to be the stronger force on the night.
Tyson, who was visibly slower than his opponent, couldn’t recover from the punishing blows and seemed to tire as the rounds went on.
