It was never ever gonna be close.”I can’t believe that this elderly abuse was even sanctioned. Just disgusting.”Copy linkCopiedFamily tiesJake Paul has made his family proud tonight by beating Iron Mike Tyson – and here is a rundown of his family.Jake is the son of Pamela Anne Stepnick and Gregory Allan Paul, and the brother of fellow famous face and social media star Logan Paul.Greg is a licensed realtor and a commercial roofer.His work involves selling, buying and renting properties, as well as installing and maintaining roofs for various buildings.Like his son, he has also found some fame through social media, particularly on platforms like YouTube, where he runs channels including Greg Paul outdoors.It features content showcasing his family and personal experiences and has has almost 160k subscribers as of November 2024.Pam initially worked as a nurse, but in the Paul family tradition she has also transitioned into an internet personality.She launched her YouTube VolgMom channel in 2017, which has almost 700k subscribers.Jake’s brother Logan Paul is one of the most famous internet stars on the planet.He has 23.6million subscribers on YouTube, has his own podcast imPAULsive, and owns his own clothing brand.Copy linkCopiedFinal momentsThe moment when Jake Paul had officially beaten boxing mogul Mike Tyson.Credit: GettyCopy linkCopiedNetflix’s technical difficulties To make matters worse for viewers, many had problems watching the contest as Netflix’s live stream was hit by technical difficulties like buffering and sound issues.One of the fight’s biggest critics was promoter Eddie Hearn.He said: “I didn’t really watch it, I was in Katie Taylor’s changing room.”I watched the first 30 seconds which were quite entertaining.”After that it was horrible to watch. It was hard to watch and it was always going to be like that.”Mike came out like a raging bull, but after that he was gassed.”Mike’s a legend and he showed a load of heart, but you just don’t need to see it.”Copy linkCopiedPaul’s claimJake Paul claims he deliberately avoided knocking out Mike Tyson as their highly-anticipated bout failed to live up to the hype.The 58-year-old boxing icon lost on points but went the full eight rounds against the influencer-turned-boxer 31 years his junior.”There was a point where I was like he is not really engaging back.”So I don’t know if he is tired. I can just tell his age was showing a little bit.”I just have so much respect for him and that war thing between us after he slapped me, I wanted to be aggressive, take him down and knock him out.”But that kind of went away as the rounds went on.”I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.”Copy linkCopiedMike Tyson’s updated net worthThroughout his boxing career Mike Tyson is estimated to have accrued over $300million (£234million), but ended up losing it all.Forbes claims his total career earnings could even have been as high as $685million (£535million).And after the fight, that would have increased by a further $20m.Like many sporting superstars, Tyson spent his money as quickly as he earned it on big expensive houses, flashy cars and even pet tigers.Copy linkCopiedPiers Morgan speaks outPiers Morgan believes that Mike Tyson would have destroyed Jake Paul in 90 seconds during his prime.Morgan said on X: “A 58yr-old Tyson went 8 rounds against a much fitter and very capable boxer half his age. “Mock him all you like, but Mike’s got the heart of a lion, balls of steel, and will always be an absolute legend.”Copy linkCopiedA Problem for the ChildPaul claimed that he suffered an ankle injury just two weeks before the fight.The Problem Child said: “Two days ago I sprained my ankle, completely tore the ligament, anterior ligament and like snapped the other side of my foot.” Was on crutches for four or five days and it just hindered the end of my training camp. “I don’t know how it didn’t get leaked or anything. I missed about two weeks of sparring and that’s why my cardio didn’t really feel so good tonight.”Copy linkCopiedJake Paul acknowledges a legendDespite Paul winning the fight, he knew that he came face to face with a legend.The Problem Child bowed his head just before the fight came to an end.Copy linkCopiedIron biteNetflix commentators were left baffled following Mike Tyson’s constant biting of his glove.But the boxing mogul explained the reason behind it.“Oh, I have a habit of biting my gloves, yeah,” said the former heavyweight champion. “I have a biting fixation.”Tyson was seemingly joking about his famous disqualification against Evander Holyfield in 1997. On that night, Tyson was DQed after biting his opponent’s ear.“I’ve heard about that,” replied interviewer Ariel Helwani. “I don’t want to know more…”Copy linkCopiedPaydayJust a reminder that Mike Tyson has still walked away $20m richer despite suffering a defeat at the hands of Jake Paul.Whereas, the Problem Child has left the building with an extra $40m in his bank account.Not bad for taking a few punches to the head.Copy linkCopiedHearn on Tyson vs Paul Fair to say Eddie Hearn wasn’t a fan of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul. The Matchroom chief admits he didn’t watch the fight, choosing to celebrate with Katie Taylor instead. “I didn’t really watch it, I was in Katie Taylor’s changing room. I watched the first 30 seconds which were quite entertaining. After that it was horrible to watch,” he said. “It was hard to watch and it was always going to be like that… Mike came out like a raging bull, but after that he was gassed. “Mike’s a legend and he showed a load of heart, but you just don’t need to see it.”Copy linkCopiedSad sight Boxing fans aren’t happy as Mike Tyson’s Boxrec page has been updated following his loss to Jake Paul. His record now stands up 50-7. A loss to former Disney star and YouTuber Paul is something no boxing fan from the 1990s could’ve expected.

He wasn’t really engaging back, I could tell his age was showing and I have so much respect for him”After he slapped me I wanted to knock him down and stuff but as the fight went on that feeling went away.”Copy linkCopiedFuture opponents for PaulPaul on Gervonta Davis: “Is there a height limit in boxing?”Paul on McGregor: “He won’t do it. He’s scared. He’s not his own boss.”Copy linkCopiedPaul at the presser”I’ve been in this sport for four years, I’ve been so active. If people want to see more then give me a couple more months. I’m going to accomplish more,” Jake says. Nakisa, his manager, says: “This young man who has four years in the sport just fought the baddest man on the planet on Netflix. “And he took it all in like it was nothing. Now he’s going to do everything he has to do to become world champion.”Copy linkCopiedSuspension for Paul & Tyson Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are both facing suspensions now that their huge Netflix fight is over.Paul won their bout on points in what was an uninspiring contest in Texas.The fight was a professional one and will go on both men’s records.However, as a result, the pair could now be suspended.This is because the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation will order them to rest up.Both Tyson and Paul will have to rest for at least seven days.The rules mean that the fighters will also be told to stay out the ring for three days for each round fought.This means they are set to both be suspended for 24 days.The regulations state: “Medical disqualification of a contestant is for their own safety and may be made at the recommendation of the examining physician or TDLR [Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation].”A contestant who disagrees with a medical disqualification, medical suspension or rest period set at the discretion of a ringside physician or a disqualification or suspension set by the department may request a hearing to show proof of fitness.”Copy linkCopiedThe punch statsWell these make for pretty grim reading.

    Awkward moment Eddie Hearn ‘isn’t welcome’ at Katie Taylor press conference before manager threatens to walk out

    EDDIE HEARN was told he was not welcome at Katie Taylor’s press conference amid his legal spat with Jake Paul.But he managed to get up on stage after the Bray bruiser’s manager threatened to walk out and boycott the chat with the media.Eddie Hearn was initially refused entry into Katie Taylor’s press conferenceCredit: TwitterHer manager Brian Peters stepped in to sort it outCredit: TwitterHearn eventually made his way on to the stageCredit: SunSportThe Matchroom boss jumped around and punched his fists in delightCredit: SunSportTaylor, 38, and Amanda Serrano, 36, put on another blockbuster bout in the final fight of the Paul vs Mike Tyson undercard in Texas.The ten-round belter – a thrilling rematch of their 2022 classic – saw both women end up covered in blood.But just like at Madison Square Garden, Taylor got the result with the judges – this time with a unanimous decision despite being docked a point for headbutting her opponent. However, that call sparked plenty of controversy.READ MORE ON KATIE TAYLORFirstly, many fans accused the fight of being “rigged” and even the commentator suggested the result would “be an asterisk on Taylor’s legacy”.But secondly, it prompted a wild reaction from Hearn inside the ring as SunSport video footage captured him jumping up and celebrating when his star retained her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring female light-welterweight world titles.Following the main event – which saw Paul easily defeat an ageing Tyson – the stars were called in to press.Hearn, though, was initially stopped from joining Taylor at the table – as he battles Paul in court. Most read in BoxingHearn and Paul are locked in a $100million lawsuit and will go head to head in front of a US judge next month after the Matchroom chief sued the Problem Child over comments about boxing judge Glenn Feldman.

Are you out of your mind?”Everyone else gets three people up. Don’t be acting.”Three people go up or not at all. Come on, big boy, make your decision now.”Hearn interjected: “It’s fine, don’t worry, we’ll leave it.”But Peters continued: “Come on, three go up or not at all.”Your call. Very simple.
