Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson in Netflix Bout

The highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson ended with Paul defeating Tyson by unanimous decision after eight rounds, streamed on Netflix. Tyson, facing age and health issues after a near-death experience in June, struggled to maintain his performance, landing only 18 of 97 punches. The event was a commercial success, drawing over 60 million viewers and generating $18 million in gate revenue, though criticized for its lack of competitive action. Paul had promised $5 million to Tyson if he lasted more than four rounds, which he did, but Paul did not deliver the knockout he predicted, admitting to easing up. There were discussions about viewership numbers, with Fox questioning Netflix's unverified claims. Following this victory, Paul is eyeing bigger names, potentially aiming for a match with Canelo Alvarez.
