Mike Tyson and Jake Paul entered the ring at AT&T Stadium on Friday (November 15) with tons of hype, pre-fight shenanigans, and a healthy undercard of exciting fights that streamed live on Netflix. With the main event concluded, Jake Paul emerged victorious but Mike Tyson didn’t exactly provide much resistance from the vantage point of boxing fans.
Mike Tyson, 58, and Jake Paul, 27, came into the ring with a lot of fanfare. In the early goings, the age difference didn’t appear to be a factor, with Iron Mike showing flashes of the brilliance from his heyday. Paul, as many have noted, has some actual skill and good footwork, using slick jabs and looping hooks that kept Tyson reacting.

Tyson tagged Paul with a couple of strong hooks and peppered him with a stinging jab but the YouTube star still managed to press the action for the most part. In the later rounds, fatigue seemingly set in for both fighters with Paul visibly breathing with his mouth open and his jab all but disappearing until the final seconds of the two-minute rounds.
Again, we should stress that there is a 31-year age gap between these two fighters but Tyson didn’t get mopped and even tagged Paul with some heavier shots that, if he were 31 years younger, would’ve had more pepper in them. It appeared that neither fighter was willing to go out on their shield and stuck to conservative game plans.
Near the conclusion of the eight-round match, Paul honored Tyson by bowing to him and the pair showed respect for one another during an embrace in the center of the ring. Paul could be seen saying words to an attentive Tyson, with both men bearing the look of exhaustion.

On X, formerly Twitter, fight fans are voicing their opinions about the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul match, which improves Paul’s record to 11-1 and Tyson to 50-7.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be locking horns in the squared circle Friday night (November 15) in a bout that will draw plenty of views as the former heavyweight champion takes on a much younger fighter. During the mandatory faceoff for photo opportunities, Mike Tyson gave Jake Paul a little smack on the cheek to let him know what will be in store for tonight.
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were in Texas at the weigh-in ahead of their super fight bout that will be held at the AT&T Stadium, which will air live on Netflix. As custom for most combat sporting events, Tyson and Paul greeted each other in the stare-down segment after the weigh-in with all the theatrics fighters used to intimidate or size up their opponents.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, Paul rushed Tyson and crowded his space, prompting Iron Mike to unleash five fingers to the face in yet another slap heard around the world. The pair were quickly separated with a smiling Paul mocking Tyson at the moment.
According to a report from ESPN, a Tyson insider claims that Paul stepped on Tyson’s foot during the faceoff and had enough of the trash talk with the footstepping being a final straw.
For what it’s worth, Tyson, 58, weighed in at a fit 233 pounds with Paul, 27, weighing in at 220. To date, this is the largest gap in age between two fighters in professional boxing history.
Tyson, who boasts a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts, has not fought professionally in 19 years. Tyson has participated in a pair of exhibition fights, including clashing with Roy Jones Jr. Paul’s last fight came last July with a sixth-round stoppage of Mike Perry by TKO.
The Friday night bout between “Iron” Mike Tyson and Jake Paul kicks off on Netflix at 8 PM EST. Learn more here.

Floyd Mayweather doesn’t have anything else to prove as a boxer but that hasn’t stopped him from cashing in on lucrative exhibition bouts against fighters less heralded than him. While it would be assumed that Floyd Mayweather would prefer to let his hands do the talking, he recently opted to fire a referee during a recent match against John Gotti III over a missed call.
Last Saturday (August 24) in Mexico City, Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III faced each other in a rematch of their 2023 fight that ended in a disqualification decision due to excessive holding from Gotti and trash talk. For this most recent bout, it was another non-scoring fight that took place at the Mexico City Arena.
As reported by TMZ Sports, Hector Afu, who was the referee boxing match, called out Mayweather for what was assumed to be an illegal “rabbit punch” to the back of the ear. Mayweather protested the call, moving Afu out of the way. Afu attempted to keep order in the ring but was eventually given the boot.
The fight went on and fans online said that the action inside the ring was less intense than the argument between Mayweather and Afu. However, it was largely assumed that although there wasn’t a judge’s scorecard, Floyd Mayweather dominated John Gotti III in the ring.
A video of the moment can be viewed here.
