The fight took place at the Cowboys’ MT&T Stadium in Arlington. Unlike many of Jake Paul’s previous fights, this one was counted as a professional bout.
This was Tyson’s first professional fight since 2005. After successful completion of eight rounds, Paul emerged as the winner, winning 73-68. Iron Mike looked his age and his record now falls to 50-7.
This was the biggest moment of Jake’s young career and he’s now 11-1, though he still believes he’s undefeated. Paul is expected to make $40 million and Tyson is expected to make $20 million from the fight.
