After a nearly 20-year hiatus from professional boxing, “Iron” Mike Tyson finally returned to the ring. Unfortunately for his millions of fans around the world, his return to the ring was anything but explosive.
Tyson was outboxed over eight, two-minute rounds by YouTube sensation Jake Paul en route to a unanimous decision loss in Saturday night’s main event at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Paul showed little interest in trading bombs with the former heavyweight champ and used his youth and energy to outbox the 58-year-old legend.
Tyson last fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout back in 2020, but had not fought professionally since 2005. Paul understood that he was in a lose-lose situation from the start but still managed to find the best outcome. After surviving Tyson’s advances in the first two rounds. Paul took over the fight with his jab and superior hand speed.
Tyson’s legs were shot within the first five minutes of the fight and his explosive techniques lacked the pop they carried in the 1980s. Paul maintained his distance and gave Tyson some leather, but never pressured forward for the stoppage. While the fight was controversial from the start, millions tuned into Netflix to watch the historic bout and while being entertained by a star studded undercard. Streaming issues were constant throughout the night and fans who were hoping for a miracle were left disappointed, but what can you say: That’s boxing.In other action, reigning undisputed women’s super lightweight champion Katie Taylor defended her belts against seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano in a 10-round war.
