Mike Tyson’s last official fight came in 2005, a defeat at the hands of Kevin McBride via sixth-round TKO. Since then, Tyson has avoided the ring almost entirely. He returned for an exhibition match in November 2020 against former heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr.
Most people who witnessed that exhibition bout believe Tyson dominated the fight. However, the contest was ruled a draw.
Jake Paul’s most recent fight came earlier this year on July 20. Paul defeated Mike Perry via sixth-round TKO after putting Perry on the floor three times. July 20 was originally supposed to be the date for Tyson vs. Paul; however, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up just before the date, pushing the match back to Nov. 15.
At 20 years and 4 months old, Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history in 1986 after defeating Trevor Berbick. Tyson’s record still stands to this day.
Tyson started his career with a 37-0 record with 33 knockouts. Tyson’s first loss came in shocking fashion to Buster Douglas in 1990. After a nearly three-year prison sentence, Tyson returned to boxing in 1995 and won four straight fights, before losing back-to-back bouts against Evander Holyfield. Following those defeats, Tyson fought just 10 more times before retiring. He went 5-3 with two no-contests in that span.
Paul’s professional boxing career began in January 2020 with a win over Ali Eson Gib. Since then, Paul has had a plethora of fights against former NBA players and former MMA fighters, including well-respected fighters like Anderson Silva and Ben Askren. Although neither of those fighters are known for their prowess in boxing.
Paul’s only loss came on Feb. 26, 2023 against Tommy Fury. Fury won by split-decision. Since then, Paul has won each of his last four fights.
