Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson, Taylor wins also the rematch against Serrano

YouTuber turned into boxer, Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KOs), defeated the heavyweight legend Mike Tyson (50-7, 44 KOs) on Friday night in Arlington, Texas, USA.

27-year-old won against 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson via unanimous decision after 8 rounds. Rounds were two minutes.

All three judges saw Paul clearly as winner (79:73, 80:72 and 79:73).

“First and foremost Mike Tyson, it’s such an honor,” Paul told Tyson after the match. “He’s the G.O.A.T. I look up to him, I’m inspired by him, and we wouldn’t be here today without him. This man is an icon and it’s just an honor to be able to fight him.”

Tyson was asked after the fight if he felt like he proved to the world that he could go the distance, despite his age.

“I didn’t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself. I’m not one of those guys that looks to please the world. I’m just happy with what I can do,” Tyson said.

In co-main event Katie Taylor (24-1) won also the rematch against Amanda Serrano (47-3-1). In a spectacular fight, Taylor was declared as winner via unanimous decision (all three judges scored 95:94).

Fight was for undisputed super-lightweight title, which Taylor holds.
