Mike Tyson’s sad ending: Jake Paul, 27, reveals he decided NOT to knock-out 58-year-old boxing legend – who he stopped punching and bowed to – as fans call out Netflix fight for ‘elder abuse’ and label it a ‘sad disgrace’
Jake Paul has revealed that he decided not to knockout out Mike Tyson during his comprehensive victory over the former heavyweight champion. The Youtuber-turned-boxer, 31 years Tyson’s junior, claimed a unanimous decision in front of a packed AT&T Stadium on Friday night.
Tyson was unable to match Paul’s energy and his condition worsened throughout the eight-round clash. Though, despite the veteran’s struggles it was curious to see Paul refrain from landing a decisive blow.
And in the last 10 seconds of the fight, he even stepped back and bowed towards Tyson in a show of respect to sporting royalty – while effectively taking his foot off the gas. Following the victory, the 27-year-old revealed that it was conscious decision not to inflict any unnecessary pain on the 58-year-old who, in his view ‘didn’t need to be hurt.’
When asked whether he eased up after noticing Tyson tiring, Paul said: ‘Yeah definitely. Definitely a bit. And speaking to Mail Sport after the fight, Jake’s brother Logan said of Tyson: ‘I think Jake let him live.’ He added: ‘He’s tough, proud of him, weathered the storm against a young brute named Jake Paul.’ Do YOU believe Jake Paul’s assertion?
The underwhelming spectacle drew a few boos at the finish, while many of the those who watched the clash online were left feeling empty by the sight of the veteran. Tyson was only in action for 16 minutes on Friday. But to those watching him lumber around the ring with a brace on his right knee, it felt much longer. At one point, ‘he’s 58’ began trending on X in reference to Iron Mike’s age.
KSI, who fought Paul’s older brother Logan in 2019 and correctly predicted that the duel would not be a contest, labelled the event ‘elderly abuse’. ‘What a sad watch,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Whole of this was sad. Mike Tyson 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.’
