Jake Paul makes controversial admission after beating Mike Tyson

Jake Paul seemingly admitted he was only trying to “hurt” Mike Tyson “a little bit” in their controversial fight, which the YouTuber won on points.

Paul, 27, beat Tyson, 58, after eight two-minute rounds, with the scorecards reading 80-72, 79-73, 79-73 in his favour. The bout was Tyson’s first professional contest since the heavyweight legend retired in 2005, though he did box Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition in 2020.
