The match began with Tyson, 58, reflecting on his famous fights as he came out swinging in the first round. However, according to TMZ, Tyson appeared to lose his pace. He often bit down on his gloves and became stationary, while Jake Paul, 27, seized the opportunity, landing a series of punches that Tyson struggled to counter. As the fight continued, Paul dominated, winning all six of the final rounds.
Paul paused the action in the final seconds of the eighth round to bow to Tyson, acknowledging his legendary status in the sport. The highly anticipated event featured A-list celebrities in attendance, including Shaquille O’Neal, Joe Jonas, and Charlize Theron. After the match, Tyson hinted that this might not be the last time we see him in the ring. He called out Logan Paul, suggesting there could be another match in the future.
