Thousands of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fans storm out of fight without knowing winner
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were met with thunderous boos from disappointed fans during their bout, which couldn't live up to the anticipation despite being one of the most sought-after events in Texas, broadcast globally via Netflix.
The anticipation fizzled as spectators began departing before the fight's midpoint, unimpressed by the match-up, reports the Mirror. The lack of enthusiasm from the audience was palpable as Jake Paul was declared victor by Unanimous Decision over 'Iron Mike' Tyson, whose movement was visibly hampered by a knee issue, scoring 80-72 on two judges’ cards and 79-73 on the third's.
This marked the YouTube star's 11th triumph in a 12-fight career, his single loss being to Tommy Fury, a boxer also known for his stint on Love Island.

The crowd expressed frustration at the tame nature of the encounter, with Tyson unable to register his former agility and Paul hesitant to land a knockout blow, even with his corner’s encouragement to finish off the legendary fighter. Commentator Roy Jones Jr remarked on Netflix, "Mike doesn't have it anymore," adding, "Legs are gone."
Post-match, within a thinning arena, Paul paid tribute to Tyson: "Mike Tyson, it's such an honour. Let's give it up for Mike, the greatest to ever do it. We wouldn't be here without him today with him, this man is an icon.
"It's just an honour to be able to fight him. It was really tough fight. I expected it to be.
"He was exactly what I thought. One of the greatest to ever do it. An icon. I was trying to hurt him a little bit. I was scared he was going to hurt me. I did my best."
