Just know that I’m always open to any suggestions.”Paul responded with a sarcastic tweet without actually answering the challenge.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe undefeated top-five pound-for-pound star, who’s won all of his 21 fights, would be a huge step up in class after the social media star’s previous opponents – most of whom weren’t even boxers.Paul tweeted: “Just seen this….top 5 pound for pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport.”I sparred Artur Beterbiev and it’s by far the worst thing I’ve experienced in life Beterbiev, though, doubled down on his demand insisting it is time for the controversial YouTuber to have “serious challenges”.The undisputed champ responded: “After four years it’s time to have serious challenges. Didn’t notice your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?”Beterbiev is currently fourth the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings after winning 20 fights via knockout. Paul vs Tyson shocking punch statsTHE punch stats from Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul made for “sad” reading.Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches – averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches – nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent – but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.

    Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson LIVE RESULT: Fans boo as eagerly-anticipated Netflix fight ends in controversial decision

    JAKE PAUL and Mike Tyson went toe-to-toe in their highly-anticipated Netflix main event last night – but it ended with boos ringing around the AT&T Stadium.Fans fumed at the lack of action in the AT&T Stadium clash with both men barely landing a meaningful blow.In the co-main event, Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano in hugely controversial circumstances.Follow ALL the reaction from this historic Netflix event with our live blog below…Suspension Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have both been suspended after their highly-anticipated bout.The 58-year-old legend fought hard in his first professional fight since 2005 – but the man 31 years his junior was ultimately the winner.Paul won via a unanimous decision and chose not to knock out Iron Mike in the latter stages of the contest as the veteran began to tire.The influencer has claimed it was Tyson that pushed for the fight to be professionally sanctioned and go on their records.However, as a result, the pair have now be suspended.Copy linkCopiedKSI labels the fight as ‘elderly abuse’Jake Paul’s fierce rival KSI is in disbelief that the huge Netflix showdown was sanctioned to go ahead.Mike Tyson looked every one his 58 years in the ring as he slumped to a unanimous decision loss while Paul, 27, appeared to be holding back.KSI said: “What a sad watch,” he wrote on his Instagram story. “Whole thing was sad.”Mike is twice the age of Jake Paul ffs. 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.
