Jake Paul won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mike Tyson as the hits didn't match the hype and the crowd rained down boos on the affair.
The latest press face-off between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on Sunday, set the stage for their rescheduled fight on November 15. During a news conference in New York, Paul and Tyson shoved each other and exchanged threats, following the postponement of their original bout scheduled for July 20 due to Tyson's medical issues.
The fight wasn’t close on the judge’s cards, with one giving Paul an 80-72 edge and the other two calling it 79-73.“Let’s give it up for Mike,” Paul said in the ring, not getting much response from a crowd that started filing out before the decision was announced. “He’s the greatest to ever do it. I look up to him. I’m inspired by him.”
“I was trying to hurt him a little bit,” said Paul, who improved to 11-1. “I was scared he was going to hurt me. I was trying to hurt him. I did my best. I did my best.” “I didn’t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself,” Tyson said when asked what it meant to complete the fight. “I’m not one of those guys that looks to please the world. I’m just happy with what I can do.”
Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, two foes with Tyson’s heyday, greeted him in his locker room before the fight.
