In a night that will forever be etched in the memories of boxing fans, Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer, achieved a historic victory by defeating boxing legend Mike Tyson. Held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the match was an unprecedented media event that captivated millions of viewers worldwide.
At 58 years old, Mike Tyson stepped back into the ring nearly two decades after retiring from professional boxing. Sporting an impressive physique and unyielding determination, Tyson proved he still had plenty to offer. However, Paul’s youth and tactical approach ultimately decided the outcome of the fight.
From the opening round, it was clear that both fighters were fully committed to giving their all. Tyson, renowned for his aggression and knockout power, attempted to dominate with his trademark style. Yet Paul displayed surprising composure, skillfully dodging some of the veteran’s most dangerous blows.
As the rounds progressed, the former YouTuber grew increasingly confident. Using his reach and speed, Paul kept Tyson at bay, landing precise punches that gradually sapped the legend’s stamina. Paul’s strategy revolved around wearing Tyson down, avoiding direct exchanges, and seizing counterattack opportunities.
The turning point came in the seventh round when Paul landed a series of punches that visibly affected his opponent. Although Tyson tried to rally, Paul’s youth and energy proved too much. In the eighth and final round, Paul maintained the pressure, securing a unanimous decision victory from the judges.
The Post-Fight Words from Jake Paul

Paul also elaborated on his feelings about being in the ring with Tyson after their match.
«I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,» Paul stated. «After I’d seen him tired I didn’t want to put too much hurt on him, but I wanted the fans to get a good experience. But there was a point where my aggression and violence went away when I wasn’t getting hit. I love Mike.» He added: «This fight was just different. I felt a lot less nerves than normal, I’m just getting so used to these moments. Fighting in a stadium, it is less personal and less loud so it is less nerve racking. Arenas are harder to fight in. Walk out, I was cool, calm and collected.»
