Mike Tyson holds out for a long time, but victory in the boxing camp goes unanimously to Jake Paul

Jake Paul has won the long-awaited boxing camp in Texas against boxing legend Mike Tyson. The 58-year-old Tyson lasted eight rounds against Paul, who was more than 30 years his junior, but after a unanimous decision the victory went to the popular YouTube star.

Mike Tyson started the camp very fiercely and Jake Paul had to take a number of heavy blows. After the first rounds, however, it became clear that the 58-year-old heavyweight legend was quickly getting more difficult. YouTuber Jake Paul took advantage of his better physical condition and took control of the spectacle competition – with little sporting value. Tyson lasted another eight rounds, but the statistics clearly show why the jury unanimously decided in favor of Jake Paul, 31 years younger. Paul threw 278 punches, 78 of which hit, compared to Tyson’s 97 punches, 18 of which hit.

“I’m happy, I don’t have anything to prove to anyone but myself, I’m happy with what I was able to do,” Tyson said afterwards. Paul called it a “great honor” to be able to compete against ‘Iron Mike’. “Mike Tyson is a legend, the greatest in history, he inspired me. It was very tough, as expected,” said Paul.

Tyson’s professional boxing career ended in 2005. He last entered the ring for an exhibition match four years ago.

Many spectators, including former American world boxing champion Deontay Wilder, expressed concern at the sight of a man in his 60s in a professional fight and said they feared a serious injury. The fight, which was held in front of more than 72,000 spectators, had been adjusted. There were 8 rounds of 2 minutes, instead of 12 rounds of 3 minutes, and slightly thicker gloves were used.

The match could be followed live on Netflix, but there were disruptions during the long-awaited boxing match. Subscribers complained on social media about the poor image quality and other technical glitches.
