Jake Paul had defeated Mike Tyson during a boxing match in Arlington Texas, drawing criticism from many viewers.
On Friday, Paul, 27, beat Tyson, 58, by unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium after eight two-minute rounds.
The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 for Paul.
Paul has also expressed interest in winning a world championship.
Fans on X were less than pleased due to the age difference between
the fighters, with one user saying “Jake Paul can’t finish a 58-year-old
who has the mobility of a tree.”
“We gotta collectively agree to stop paying attention to this Jake Paul circus. What an embarrassment to boxing,” he continued.

“I shoulda put 10 million on Jake. Not cause he’s good but cause he fought a senior citizen,” said Dave Portnoy.
Credit
to Jake Paul + Mike Tyson for pulling off one of the great cons of
century. I shoulda put 10 million on Jake. Not cause he's good but cause
he fought a senior citizen. I would say everybody involved should be
ashamed but I'd take the money it too if I could. #TysonPaul
“Love @MikeTyson. Always have, always will. But 58 is 58. Plus the legs just wasn’t there. Old is old,” another user said.
Love @MikeTyson.
Always have, always will. But 58 is 58. Plus the legs just wasn’t
there. Old is old. Thank God he didn’t get knocked out. Now it’s time
for @jakepaul to get in the ring with a Top-10 fighter — or Hell, a Champion. No more BBall players, strikers from MMA, or old…
Sports fans across social media also began to complain that they
couldn’t watch the fight without it buffering and disrupting their
viewing of the fights.
Issues started to occur during the Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos match
and increased ahead of the Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor bout.
