Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson LIVE: Fight updates, UK start time and undercard results as Taylor edges Serrano in war on Netflix

Mike Tyson slaps Jake Paul on eve of seismic boxing match

Tonight, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will meet in one of the biggest and most controversial fights of all time.

Tyson, 58, will face YouTuber Paul, 27, live on Netflix – in the former heavyweight champion’s first professional bout in 19 years. The fight is due to take place in front of 70,000 fans at the AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

And one night before that divisive fight, Tyson slapped Paul in their final face-off. “I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m f***ing him up. He hits like a b***, it’s personal now, he must die!”

The fight has proven highly controversial, with many fans fearing for Tyson’s health – especially after an ulcer flare-up delayed the fight earlier this year – though others believe the heavyweight icon will roll back the years to beat Paul. Then there are those who think the fight is scripted.

In the evening’s co-main event, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano clash in a rematch of the biggest women’s bout ever, two years after the Irish legend narrowly outpointed the Puerto Rican great. Whatever may come tonight, follow the latest updates and results below:

Trainer Jordan Maldonado has gone off here, a rant in defence of Amanda Serrano there. They are furious about the headbutt and labelled Taylor a dirty fighter.

It was a war again, gripping from the mid-point when the fight was in serious jeopardy, both women traded relentlessly from that point on.

Perhaps the cut helped Taylor, pushing her to take risks and capitalise on the opening Serrano’s cut provided.

“I’m a featherweight, every time you get cut it bothers you, she headbutted me, not just me,” Serrano says.

“No matter how many cuts I have, I’m a warrior, I think all I can say is that she does it in every fight.

“She did it with Cameron, it is what it is, no matter what, I’m a champion. Listen, I’m happy with my team, I’m in Jerry’s World, who knew two women would fight here? I’m on Netflix!

“It [a third fight] is up to the team.”

“It’s hard to score the fight, an absolute war, thank god, congratulations to Amanda,” Taylor says.

“She’s a hard puncher, a tough warrior, I had to prepare for that. I don’t care if the commentary team or the crowd disagree.

“I don’t agree with the deduction, I certainly wasn’t fighting dirty, it sometimes gets rough in there. This was the greatest, we put a show on.”

All three judges score it 95-94, your winner by UD… KATIE TAYLOR!

Boos ring out at AT&T Stadium, the broadcast immediately raise the prospect of “robbery,” was it? It was a very close fight. Over 10 rounds… 6-4 to Taylor would do it and is plausible.

Both women unloading huge power shots, they’re both hurt, an incredible fight has caught fire in the last few rounds.

It’s a war, a right on the chin of Serrano lands, she’s barely shaken, there’s the bell: What a fight!

Wheelock’s unofficial scorecard has it 96-93 to Serrano. Round 8 was a 10-9 Taylor round, he says, but the point deduction means he has marked it down as 9-9.

A 9-9 round according to the unofficial scorer on Netflix, after that point docked.

Taylor ducking and diving on the way in, that’s where the headbutt comes into play. A massive left hook from Taylor, Serrano is so tough, immense strength to persevere beyond the blurred vision as blood trickles down from her eye.

We go to the final round, it’s in the balance, though Serrano surely more likely to be favoured if this goes the distance. “Sit down and let it rip,” Taylor’s corner scream.

BANG! A left from Serrano lands immediately, that’s off the back of 89 punches landed from 170 thrown in just two minutes from the pair.

Good grief, Taylor with a devastating combination. WOW, controversy! Drama here as Taylor is docked a point by the referee. It feels harsh.

Roy Jones Jr: “I think they’re going to stop it.” Serrano’s corner pushing cotton buds deep into the wound.

What a round! The combinations are exhilarating, as much gruesome, given the damage done to Serrano’s eye. Both fighters going for it and leaving themselves vulnerable.

Just how do you score that one? Serrano digs one to the left side of Taylor’s head. The bell sounds, this one is in the balance, surely.

A huge cut on Serrano’s right eye, from that headbutt, she’s pouring at it, it’s burst open, this is a disaster!

Meanwhile, through five rounds, Taylor lands 34 percent of her shots, Serrano just 31 percent.

Flesh is dangling, it’s a gruesome cut and Taylor maybe has life?

A sense of urgency from Serrano too, remember it was an accidental headbutt, we’d go to the scorecards prematurely.

Our combat sports correspondent Alex Pattle is in Arlington, Texas for the big fight, he delivers the latest from ringside:

The crowd realllllly got roaring during one exchange there, as Taylor and Serrano both landed multiple times at close range. Taylor got the better of Serrano first, then the Puerto Rican retaliated wonderfully.

But some adversity for Serrano late in the round, as she ate a few big shots. She shook her head after one left hook, as if to say it didn’t hurt, but she is cut over her right eye…
