Mike Tyson, considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers, faced famous Youtuber Jake Paul in the ring. The highly anticipated match took place at the 80,000-seat ATT Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, one of the American Football League teams.

Paul, who has 20.8 million followers on YouTube, began his boxing career in 2018. In his 12th fight as a professional against Tyson, the 27-year-old US boxer Paul reached his 11th victory in those fights, seven of which he won by knockout. The 58-year-old US Tyson, who was described as perhaps the fiercest fighter to step into the professional ring throughout his career, suffered his 7th defeat in his career, in which he won 50 wins, 44 of which were knockouts.

US media suggested that Paul would earn at least 40 million dollars and Tyson about 20 million dollars thanks to the fight. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson said before the fight: “The money I will earn from this fight will not change my lifestyle. I am only doing this because I want to test myself”.
