New Delhi: Legendary boxer Mike Tyson suffered a shock loss in the much-publicised bout against Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday. The Netflix event garnered huge fanfare ahead of the blockbuster bout and the fans were left wanting for more after the eight-round bout.
While the fans were left disappointed after Netflix crashed ahead of the event, things got back on track once the fight started.
Tyson, 58, was visibly slow in reacting against his much younger opponent. In the end, Paul ran out as a comfortable winner, clinching the bout after a unanimous decision in an eight-round fight. The win extended Paul’s record to 11-1 1 as Tyson suffered only his seventh defeat in his 59th professional bout.

Following the loss, Tyson was asked if he would return to the ring and the iconic boxer replied, “I don’t know, it depends on the situation.”
