Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer, secured a comfortable victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The fight, which saw ‘The Problem Child’ coax the former heavyweight champion out of retirement, raised eyebrows due to Tyson’s age (58) and well-documented health issues. Many in the boxing community questioned the ethics of sanctioning such a bout.
