ARLINGTON, Texas -- Mike Tyson's highly anticipated return to the boxing ring after nearly two decades saw "The Baddest Man on the Planet" fall short to YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul, who cruised to a unanimous decision Friday night at AT&T Stadium.
Although Tyson was a massive fan favorite, the fight proved that Father Time remains undefeated. Tyson, 58, struggled to mount any significant offense as the 27-year-old Paul peppered him with jabs throughout the affair, which featured eight two-minute rounds.
The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 for Paul.
