The highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match finally took place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, after a six-month delay caused by Tyson’s medical treatment for an ulcer. The event featured a mix of thrilling moments and controversy, including Katie Taylor’s rematch with Amanda Serrano. Here’s a breakdown of the full results:
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul
Mike Tyson made his long-awaited return to professional boxing, stepping into the ring for the first time in nearly 20 years against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Despite his illustrious career, the 58-year-old was seen as the underdog due to being double Paul’s age.
The fight saw tensions boil over even before the opening bell, with Tyson slapping Paul during a heated weigh-in altercation. Paul, who described the fight as personal, entered the bout seeking to solidify his standing in the boxing world after facing UFC icons and enduring his sole career loss to Tommy Fury.
Katie Taylor def. Amanda Serrano – Unanimous Decision (UD)
Katie Taylor secured victory in a controversial rematch against Amanda Serrano, despite a point deduction in the eighth round after a clash of heads. Earlier in the fight, a similar incident left Serrano with a cut on her right eye.
The unanimous decision in favor of Taylor sparked boos from the Arlington crowd, with many calling the verdict contentious. Following the win, Taylor pushed for a trilogy bout, setting the stage for more drama between the two fighters.
Mario Barrios Draws vs. Abel Ramos – Split Decision (SD)
Mario Barrios retained his world title after a split-decision draw with Abel Ramos. Although Ramos was coming off a streak of losses, he managed to knock Barrios down in the sixth round with a series of right hands.
The fight was a back-and-forth contest in the later rounds, leading to conflicting scorecards. One judge narrowly favored Ramos, another gave Barrios a surprisingly wide lead, and the third scored it even, resulting in a split-decision draw.
Neeraj Goyat def. Whindersson Nunes – Unanimous Decision (UD)
In a unique clash, professional boxer Neeraj Goyat faced off against Brazilian social media star Whindersson Nunes. Despite the hype, the bout was one-sided, with Goyat dominating all six rounds.
Both fighters dropped their defenses by the fifth round, but neither landed significant blows to alter the outcome. Judges scored the fight 59-55, 60-54, and 60-54 in favor of Goyat.
The Tyson-Paul fight lived up to its billing as a spectacle, but the event will be remembered equally for its controversies and competitive matchups across the card. From Taylor’s divisive win to Barrios’ surprising draw, the night provided plenty of talking points for fans and pundits alike.
