We are in the boxing match

Social media star Jake Paul defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson via unanimous decision late Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in one of the most unlikely matchups in sports history.

The win improves Paul’s professional record to 11-1, while Tyson drops to 50-7.

“He’s exactly what I thought, one of the best to ever do it,” Paul said after the game.

Tyson was asked if he was officially done with boxing. He said he wasn’t sure.

“I don’t think so,” Tyson said on the broadcast. “Maybe the brother.”

Paul, 27, a social media star with more than 27 million Instagram followers and nearly 21 million YouTube subscribers, made his professional debut in 2020. He has since compiled a 10-1 record with wins that include former UFC- stars Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry. His lone loss is a split decision last year against boxer Tommy Fury, half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Tyson, 58, is known as one of the best – and most terrifying – boxers of all time. He opened his professional career with 19 straight finishes, 12 of which came in the first round. He later knocked out Trevor Berbick at the age of 20 to become the youngest heavyweight champion ever. Tyson ruled the division from 1987 to 1990, claiming and retaining the WBA, WBC and IBF belts en route to a 37-0 start.

His first career loss was a 10th round knockout to Buster Douglas in 1990 in what is considered the greatest upset in boxing history.

Tyson returned to the ring 20 times since that defeat, going 13-5 with two ‘no contests’. He has not competed since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. He was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

Paul was asked after the match who he wants next.

“Anyone I want,” Paul said. “Everyone is next on the list.”

In the co-main event, Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano via unanimous decision (95-94 on all three judges’ cards). The fight, a rematch from their epic first meeting, was another instant classic that saw 324 punches landed.
