Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson by unanimous decision

YouTuber Jake Paul has beaten former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson by unanimous decision.

In the bout which took place inside the AT&T Stadium early Saturday morning, Paul won by unanimous decision with one judge scoring it 80-72, and the other two 79-73 in his favour.

Both fighters looked pretty gutted, but Paul probably wanted to be more impressive than that even as Tyson managed to stay in the fight for so long.

Tyson, speaking to Netflix after the bout said: “Absolutely happy, yeah. I knew he was a good fighter, I knew he was prepared. I don’t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself. I am just happy with what I could do.

“I have a habit of biting my glove, I have a biting fixation. I don’t think (this is the last of me), maybe his brother (Logan).”
