Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson: Former heavyweight champion loses to YouTube star

 

At AT&T Stadium, in front of almost 70,000 people, Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a fight that was livestreamed by Netflix.

Following an occasionally bizarre build-up to an unexpected contest, the heavyweight boxing matchup pitted the 27-year-old social media phenomenon against the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion.

Although Paul was the betting favorite going into the battle, it's unlikely that anyone would profit as much as the two boxers will.
