Paul beats Tyson as former heavyweight champ fails to turn the clock back

Jake Paul has beaten boxing legend Mike Tyson by a unanimous decision to win an intergenerational heavyweight battle in Texas that failed to live up to its enormous hype. The Friday night bout between the 27-year-old social media influencer-turned-prizefighter Paul and the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Tyson was streamed live on Netflix and played out in front of a sold-out crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington Those fans were left largely disappointed as Tyson showed his age and was never able to generate any offence against his younger opponent, landing just 18 punches to Paul’s 78. “First and foremost, Mike Tyson – it’s an honour to be able to fight him,” said Paul. “It was as tough and hard as I thought it would be.” Tyson, who wore a knee brace, never ...

The speaker is one of a series of Ugandan officials who have been barred from entering the US in recent years because of allegations of human rights violations against them.
