Boxing legend Mike Tyson (58 years old) lost to content creator (YouTuber) Jake Paul (27 years old) in a heavyweight match held on Friday in Texas, United States, and broadcast live on Netflix.
Tyson, coming out of retirement after 20 years, landed a number of punches, blocked many of them, and landed a number of powerful punches. In the last ten seconds of the eighth round, Paul stopped throwing punches and bowed to the star of the game, while Tyson said after crowning his young rival that “Paul deserves respect”.
Sports analysts criticised the fight as a “circus show” that presented an unacceptable level of risk for Tyson, whose last professional appearance was in 2005, when he was defeated by knockout after retiring against Irish boxer Kevin McBride.
