Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson by Unanimous Decision in Highly-Anticipated Fight

On Saturday, November 16 (IST), YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul secured a landmark victory over legendary boxer Mike Tyson in a fight that had fans on the edge of their seats. Originally scheduled for July 20, the bout was rescheduled to November 15 after the 58-year-old Tyson was declared medically unfit to compete in the summer.

The clash marked Tyson’s return to professional boxing after a two-decade hiatus, with the AT&T Stadium in Dallas hosting the main event of a blockbuster Netflix production. Despite a spirited performance, Tyson ultimately fell to Paul via unanimous decision.

Paul Triumphs Over Tyson in a Dramatic Comeback

In an intense bout, Tyson started strong, winning the first two rounds and setting the tone for the fight. However, the 27-year-old Paul, nicknamed “The Problem Child,” quickly adjusted his strategy and turned the momentum in his favor.

The tide began to shift in the third round when Paul delivered a sharp triple jab, scoring a 10-9 win for the round and narrowing Tyson’s lead to 29-28. By the fourth round, Tyson appeared visibly fatigued, struggling to maintain his earlier dominance, which allowed Paul to take control.

Paul capitalized on Tyson’s slowed pace, landing clean body shots and effective combinations that pushed him ahead with a 48-47 lead by the midway point. Maintaining his advantage, Paul extended the margin to 58-56 in later rounds, delivering decisive blows that left the legendary Tyson visibly exhausted.

In the end, Paul’s stamina, strategy, and well-timed punches secured him the unanimous decision victory and marked the biggest win of his professional boxing career.

The fight not only highlighted Paul’s growing credentials as a boxer but also served as a historic moment in the sport, as a modern influencer-turned-athlete triumphed over one of boxing’s greatest icons.
