Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight Results

Jake Paul has defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous after eight full two-minute rounds in the highly-anticipated and groundbreaking Netflix fight. For decades, high-profile boxing matches have been largely relegated to pay-per-views, though recent years have seen streaming services step up. Netflix, the world’s largest and most successful streaming service, has also started experimenting with live sports content.

Quite easily Netflix’s biggest live sports event to date, the fight between controversial social media personality Jake Paul and the legendary but also highly controversial boxer Mike Tyson has been hyped up for months. The massive fight between Paul and Tyson was originally scheduled to take place this past summer, but was postponed to November 15 after Tyson experienced a medical episode.

Unfortunately, Netflix experienced significant problems during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event, with many of the issues starting before Paul and Tyson ever stepped in the ring. Many Netflix subscribers completely missed out on seeing the Tyson/Paul fight, but those that did tune in saw Tyson and Paul box all eight two-minute rounds. Ultimately, Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision.

• Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision after eight two-minute rounds.

The lead-up to the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight generated significant interest from the media. Many have pointed out how Tyson is a whopping 31 years older than Paul, while others have focused on both boxers’ controversial pasts. The boxers themselves have done a great deal of promotion for the bout, with Tyson issuing an ominous warning to Paul in the days leading up to the match. “Jake Paul will see me at my most vicious,” Tyson promised on social media. Tyson would end up slapping Jake Paul during the weigh-in for their fight.

Now that Paul has defeated Tyson, it will be interesting to see what’s next. Tyson teased a fight with Jake’s brother Logan, but it’s unclear who Jake might be challenging next. It will also be interesting to see if these future fights take place on Netflix. The streaming giant is guaranteed to have more live sports content in the years ahead, with WWE Raw coming to Netflix in January. A couple of Christmas Day NFL games will also be airing on Netflix, with the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Steelers and the Ravens versus the Texans both happening on the platform. Here’s hoping future live sporting events avoid the serious issues that plagued the Paul/Tyson event.
