The bad blood between YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul and former boxing heavyweight champion Tyson ended Friday after both faced each other in front of 70,000 fans watching the bout in person at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
While Tyson showed flashes of his older self during the initial rounds, his stamina waned as the rounds progressed, allowing Paul to take advantage. After eight rounds, Tyson was barely standing up and even Paul bowed down to him, acknowledging his efforts with respect.
After the game, both stars were at peace.
“I had nothing to prove to anyone other than myself,” Tyson said post-fight. However, the boxing legend refused to retire while hinting at a potential matchup against Jake Paul’s brother Logan.
“I don’t know… It depends on the situation. … I don’t think so. Maybe his brother,” Tyson added.
As for Jake Paul, he was appreciative of the boxing legend.
“I was trying to hurt him a little bit. I was scared he was going to hurt me,” Paul said.
