Jake Paul’s farcical victory over Mike Tyson made headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons. Wydarzenie było transmitowane na żywo dla wielomilionowej publiczności, a tylko nieliczni byli zadowoleni z tego, co zobaczyli podczas trudnej dla boksu nocy.

Anyone who had any real hope for Tyson to win was sanguine at best and downright naive at worst. Nigdy nie miałby szans w starciu z mężczyzną o połowę młodszym od niego i będącym w życiowej formie, niezależnie od umiejętności bokserskich.

It always went one way, with Iron Mike doing nothing of note beyond a few punches early in the opening round. In total, he only landed 97 punches, and Paul kept circling him despite the fact that virtually no one considered him a worthy opponent.

Jeszcze przed wydarzeniem krążyły plotki, że zostanie ono napisane po ukazaniu się w mediach społecznościowych niepotwierdzonego dokumentu. He claimed to detail how events unfolded round by round, predicting Paul would win by knockout.

Ultimately, it was a different result, with the YouTube star taking the points victory after eight terrible rounds. The truth is that nobody could have scripted such a dull fight, which was essentially a vanity project for Paul at the expense of a living legend.

It says a lot that Tyson Paul’s punch at the weigh-in was the funniest moment of the fight week. Było to ogromne rozczarowanie dla każdego, kto liczył na obejrzenie porządnego złomu, ale ci, którzy widzieli przez fasadę, i tak nie spodziewali się wiele.

Tony Bellew, który wściekł się na Paula podczas rozmowy z Express Sport przed walką, wyraził się w świetny sposób w mediach społecznościowych. He suggested that people should resist the temptation to watch these events because it is the public interest that drives them.

Jednak w miarę jak walka osiągnęła szczytową oglądalność w serwisie Netflix wynoszącą 65 milionów, wydaje się, że w dającej się przewidzieć przyszłości tym absurdalnym spektaklom nie widać końca. A gloomy time for the sport of boxing, indeed.

Ali Walsh, whose mother is Rasheda Ali, is a middleweight with a record of 11-1. The 24-year-old told Sky Sports how Paul made him a lucrative fight offer, which he turned down because it was under the name Ali.

Nico said: “Morally it was an uncomplicated choice. I said no before I even heard the numbers. I think it was over $3 million. Of course, it would be money I had never earned in my career. That would be money like I’ve never seen before. But is everything really money? That’s how I was raised.

“You have to ask yourself, how much is your pride worth? How much are you willing to sell for? Because that’s how it is, at least in my book. Anyone else can do it. But to me I’m Ali, I carry my name with so much weight that I don’t think I should be playing in the mud with guys like Jake Paul.

Ali Walsh, who is close to Tyson, was disgusted by Saturday’s events. In lightweight of the result, he wrote on Twitter: “Jake Paul is an embarrassment to the sport. If my grandfather were still around, he would have called out to him. Absolutely no shame… I love you, Mike.

However, on Instagram, the prospect revealed that he would fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer, but only if Tyson asked him to. This would certainly be another eye-catching event that Paul could successfully promote through his own Most Valuable Promotions.

Meanwhile, Nico’s mother Rasheda said her father – who died in 2016 at the age of 74 – would have been “humiliated” by Saturday’s fight were it not for both men’s bedazzled handbags. She said Fox News: “Boxers didn’t earn money, as you know, Tyson does. Dad would be thrilled to have made that kind of money.

– Well, he would be excited to some extent. Dad would be horrified because boxers didn’t earn that much back then. They were fighting for their lives and I think when my dad started making boxing more entertaining, that’s when people joined the fight and boxers, after my father, started making a lot of money.”

Ali’s biggest fortune came at the end of his career when he collected $7.9 million (£6.3 million) for a defeat by Larry Holmes in 1980. Ali fought only once more, losing in 1981 to Trevor Berbick, who was knocked out by the juvenile Tyson five years later. Three-time heavyweight champion Ali earned $57 million (£47.7 million) during his Hall of Fame career.

Former boxing champion Tony Bellew has launched a scathing attack on Jake Paul and accused him of wearing “full boxing gloves” during his triumph over Mike Tyson.

An internet personality who switched to boxing outclassed the iconic boxer in a weekend bout in Texas.

Although Paul suggested that his goal would be a knockout, in the end he only managed to secure victory for the 58-year-old athlete. The fight was overwhelmingly dominated by Paul, with Tyson landing just 18 punches compared to Paul’s 78.

However, Bellew, a former WBC cruiserweight titleholder, believes Paul’s choice of gloves gave him an unfair advantage.

On X (previously on Twitter), Bellew confessed: “The gloves Mike has look heavily padded, while Jake has full punching gloves on his feet. There is a huge difference between them and I only watch from my bed. “

Moreover, Bellew tore to shreds the very idea of ​​a brawl taking place: “We are all guilty of this man! We’re all talking and watching! We have to stop this fool [Paul]!

“Don’t count on him until he fights someone vigorous, not his grandfather! Any decent boxing person helping Paul should take a look at themselves! It’s just depressed.”

Despite his irritation with Paul, Bellew admitted he had some respect for the younger player. Paul, 27, said after the fight that he held back to prevent Tyson from being seriously harmed.

Bellew commented: “I don’t like that stupid idiot kid, but I will say this… he stopped beating Mike and showed him respect and dignity by letting him live. He wasn’t looking for KO there, just leave him and leave him alone.

After the fight, both fighters received mandatory suspensions from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with a required rest period of 24 days due to the duration of the fight.

Despite this, both are already planning to return to the ring – Paul aims to fight Canelo Alvarez, and Tyson challenges his brother Logan.
