Despite his loss, Tyson expressed no regrets about the fight, stating that he was glad to have fought `one last time`[1][4].
The event was marked by pre-fight drama, including an incident where Tyson slapped Paul forcefully across the face during the weigh-in, a move that was described as `vintage Mike` by Roy Jones Jr., who was in attendance[5].
Jones, a multi-weight world champion, had predicted that the younger Paul would gain strength as the fight progressed, advising Paul to keep his distance and fatigue Tyson. This strategy seemed to pay off as Paul managed to outlast Tyson over the eight rounds[5].
The match was part of a significant boxing event that also featured a chief support fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano 2, and was streamed live on Netflix[5].
