It was an expected fight and it didn't really live up to expectations. At 58, multiple world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson came out of retirement to face Jake Paul, 27, a YouTuber turned professional boxer. This Saturday, November 16, “Iron Mike” was beaten on points, after a fight broadcast on the North American platform Netflix, which looked like an exhibition.
Jake Paul's brother in the crosshairs
“My last fight? I don't know, I don't think so. It will depend on the situation” Tyson said after the match. While the Netflix platform has been saturated with the success of the fight, the 58-year-old boxer knows that his name is enough to increase the audience. And with some 19 million euros received for this fight, Mike Tyson is not stopping himself from returning to the ring. “Who next? Maybe his brother” he added. Logan Paul, brother of Jake, is a professional wrestler and did not fail to put on a “show” this Saturday. “Son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you Mike,” said the 29-year-old American.
