Abdo turned heads with his outfit as he teamed with Andre Ward and Cedric the Entertainer.

She wore a patterned corset without a bra for the match.

But for some viewers, they couldn’t get past her accent during the broadcast.

The Manchester-born gift seemed to drop his usual accent and sounded much more American.

But for many, hearing her speak under cover left them reeling.

One fan wrote: “Why is Kate Abdo putting on the American accent? It’s funny but creepy.”

Another wrote: “Kate Abdo switching between an English and American accent is terrifying.”

A third commented: “Kate Abdo puts on that ridiculous American accent for no reason on this cover, it blows my mind.”

However, some enjoyed Abdo’s accent change and one said it was a highlight of the show.

Netflix came under fire from viewers during the match broadcast.

The streaming service struggled with technical difficulties such as buffering and freezing.

Tyson left the select commentators confused during the fight.

The boxing legend kept biting his gloves, confusing broadcaster Roy Jones Jr.

Fans were left booing the final result as Paul was named the unanimous victor over Tyson.

After the fight, Paul claimed that he chose not to knock Tyson out “on purpose”.

Tyson is keen to continue fighting and even challenged Paul’s brother Logan after the fight.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson round by round

MIKE TYSON’s long-awaited return to the ring did not have the fairytale ending fans were dreaming of.

SunSports boxing expert Wally Downes Jr. sums up one of the dullest and most forgettable nights in boxing history.

And he didn’t hold back, issuing a scathing assessment of social media sensation Jake Paul.

First round

Paul says “I love you Mike” just before the opening bell rings. He quickly runs away holding the boxing legend.

Tyson gets a big reaction from the crowd as he lands a jab and a good right hand.

Rating: 10-9 Tyson

Round two

Paul ran away in the opener and held – just like we thought he would.

Tommy Fury had it first and now Mike Tyson. It’s smart because Tyson gets tired. Paul tags Tyson’s body with a straight right.

Tyson looks used now. 180 seconds in and the game looks over.

Rating: 10-9 Tyson

Third round

The legend can’t even keep his gum shield inside. As expected, it’s a waste of time. Paul has been running away until the 58-year-old has grown tired.

Shooting ducks in a barrel now. Tyson could get hurt here. Paul lands a few clumsy shots and Tyson staggers backwards.

Tragic after three.

Judgment: 10-9 Paul

Round four

That’s proper rubbish. The crowd gets bored and boos are heard.

It’s just two tired big lumps going at it. One a legend, one a promoter.

Judgment 10-9 Paul

Fifth round

Paul jabs the body and aims straight for the head and another one-two cuts the icon.

Tyson can’t hold his mouth shut, he’s gasping for breath. Paul lands a left hook, but so does Tyson.

Judgment 10-9 Paul

Round six

Thank God it wasn’t three-minute rounds. We get about four strokes per round.

Tyson gasps in the air, but replays show that a left hook grazed Paul’s beard.

Judgment 10-9 Paul

Seventh round

Tyson throws a jab and tries an uppercut. The commentator admits that it has been a “sad” spectacle.

AT&T Stadium has been completely gutted. Paul looks as tired as Tyson.

Judgment 10-9 Paul

eighth round

Go back to YouTube, Jake. You are an excellent con artist. But you’ve never been a boxer.

The judges decide: 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. I’m glad Tyson is getting paid and has stayed safe.

But what a ridiculous performance from Paul to add to his stinker with Tommy Fury.
