How the fight went
Tyson was 58 and Paul 27. ESPN reported that Tyson struggled to mount any real offense while Paul peppered him with jabs through all eight rounds. It was Tyson’s return to the ring after nearly two decades.
The fight was first set for July 20, 2024. Tyson withdrew after an ulcer flare-up on a flight in May, and Paul kept that date against Mike Perry, whom he stopped in the sixth round, before meeting Tyson in November.
