WWE Hall of Famer (celebrity wing) Mike Tyson issued the following statement after losing to Jake Paul in their boxing match via unanimous decision:
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25 lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
Netflix scored a major win with the Tyson vs. Paul boxing event, announcing that a staggering 60 million households worldwide tuned in to watch the spectacle.
The fight between the 58-year-old boxing legend and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul wasn’t just a boxing match — it was a global phenomenon.
However, the night wasn’t without its setbacks. Fans on social media were quick to call out Netflix for streaming issues, with buffering problems leading to widespread frustration. Memes flooded platforms like X and Instagram, with one user quipping, “Fix your antenna, Netflix,” while others speculated the platform wasn’t prepared for the massive audience surge.
The co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano also delivered huge numbers, drawing 50 million households to watch their thrilling bout. Taylor secured a narrow decision win over Serrano, adding even more energy to the evening.
Jake Paul ultimately earned a clear decision victory over Tyson, who showed glimpses of his legendary aggression but couldn’t match Paul’s pace. While Tyson didn’t get the win, his ability to draw millions of viewers and command respect was undeniable.
