The recent bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has sparked significant debate in the boxing world. The event, which took place on November 15 in Texas and was streamed live on Netflix, saw Jake Paul secure a unanimous points decision over eight rounds against the 58-year-old Mike Tyson.

Gervonta Davis, the WBA Lightweight World Champion, has weighed in on the fight, stating that Tyson's participation `tarnished Mike’s legacy` and that it was done `for some money.`[1]

Despite Tyson's pride in his performance, many in the boxing community, including Davis, have condemned the spectacle. The fight, however, has boosted Jake Paul's profile, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer receiving various fight offers from notable champions such as Artur Beterbiev, Gilberto Ramirez, and Daniel Dubois.

Tyson has confirmed that this was his last time stepping into the ring, marking the end of an era for the boxing legend.

In other news, Daniel Dubois, the current IBF heavyweight champion, has been making waves in the heavyweight division. Dubois recently retained his title with a knockout victory over Anthony Joshua in September 2024. He is set to make a voluntary defence of his IBF belt in February 2025, with several potential opponents lined up, including Fabio Wardley, Zhilei Zhang, and Joseph Parker[2].
