Legendary boxer Mike Tyson's much-awaited return to in-ring action ended in a defeat, with YouTuber Logan Paul getting a unanimous verdict on Saturday. The 58-year-old barely landed a punch as his much younger opponenet won by a big margin in the eight bout round at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
