Jake Paul has beaten Mike Tyson by unanimous decision, after eight rounds of boxing at two minutes each.

Tyson came out the blocks strong, but as the fight went on, Paul grew into the fight and started to dominate the 58-year-old, landing far more punches on Iron Mike has the rounds went on.

Paul looked to have dominated by the end, as according to Netflix, the 27-year-old landed 78 punches from 278 thrown (28 percent), while Tyson landed just 18 punches from 97 thrown (18 percent), as the gulf in age was highlighted to boxing fans.

After Netflix’s unofficial score cards gave rounds one and two to Tyson, the remaining six were given to Paul, as commentators and fans alike were certain of the outcome as the bout went on.

Millions tuned in to the fight as it broadcast live from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on streaming platform Netflix.

It was a first of its kind boxing event for Netflix, organised by Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), with eight fights in total taking place in the centre of the stadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys.

Already tonight, some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up, while millions at home were treated, or jump-scared, to Tyson’s bare a** in his locker room following a pre-fight interview.

Rescheduled from 20 July, it was originally called off due to serious health problems suffered by Tyson, 58, while on a plane.

Paul, 27, pocketed $40m (£31.1m) from the fight with Tyson taking home roughly $20m (£15.4m).

“I’m here to make $40m and knock out a legend,” Paul had boldly said before the bout.

Going into the fight, Paul was the bookies’ favourite, odds on at 2/5. Tyson was placed at 12/5 with a draw priced at 9/1.
