Jake Paul still can’t shake Mike Tyson: Fallout from their fight continues to give him trouble
Two prominent British boxing legends reignited the conversation
Jake Paul‘s ascent in boxing continues to raise eyebrows – not only for his victories but for how those victories are perceived by fans and boxing legends alike.
After his highly publicized and record-breaking bout against Mike Tyson in November, Paul walked away with another win on his record. But in the court of public opinion, the decision is far from unanimous.

The now 27-year-old Paul outlasted the 58-year-old Tyson in what many had predicted would be a lopsided affair due to the massive age difference and physical disparity.
Tyson, once known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” faded quickly after the first round, visibly exhausted and unable to mount any sustained offense.
Paul, significantly younger and in his prime, remained active and took control of the pace, ultimately winning via unanimous decision.
Though sanctioned as a professional fight by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR), many viewers – especially casual fans – were quick to cry foul.

Accusations flooded social media, with some claiming the fight was staged and Tyson was compensated to lose quietly. Whether rooted in genuine skepticism or just disappointment, the conspiracy theories gained traction online and stirred debate about the event’s authenticity.
The Paul-Tyson aftermath
Months after the bout, two prominent British boxing legends reignited the conversation. Carl Froch, a former super middleweight world champion, brought up the Tyson-Paul fight during a sit-down with fellow boxing icon Ricky Hatton.
Hatton, known affectionately as “The Hitman,” offered a surprising take. He suggested that neither fighter pushed themselves to the limit, contradicting the narrative that Paul capitalized on a weakened Tyson.
“I don’t think Jake Paul tried against him,” Hatton remarked.

While he didn’t go so far as to suggest the fight was staged, Hatton expressed frustration over how the bout was presented to the public.
“I don’t mind exhibitions, I’ve done one,” Hatton explained. “Don’t sell it, and charge each other, the Earth, and then bill it as a proper fight when it wasn’t.”
