Paul scored an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Tyson, in a fight that ultimately failed to deliver the drama and excitement fans expected.

The 27-year-old former YouTuber turned boxer dominated Tyson, 58, who returned to the ring for the first time in nearly two decades in a sanctioned professional fight.
