The recent fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Many people have accused the two of colluding and planning the outcome of their match beforehand. However, Eddie Hearn, who promoted the event, has come forward to dismiss these claims.
In the fight, Paul emerged as the victor, beating the 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision. Judges scored the eight-round match 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Surprisingly, Tyson only landed 18 punches throughout the entire fight. Paul even admitted that he took it easy on his opponent as the fight progressed.
After the match, videos began circulating on social media, with some pointing out moments where Tyson seemed to hold back his punches. This led many fans to believe that the fight was scripted. However, Hearn has labeled these accusations as "ridiculous."
In an interview with iFL TV, Hearn shared his thoughts on the fight. He stated that the outcome was exactly what he had expected and that Tyson's age and declining power played a significant role in the result. Hearn also mentioned that Tyson did try his best, and he deserves credit for that.
Hearn went on to address the speculation about the fight being scripted, saying that it was "ridiculous." He also acknowledged that Tyson's children must have been proud to see their father back in the ring after a grueling training camp. While Hearn did not particularly enjoy watching the fight, he did mention that it created a significant buzz and was a memorable moment in sports and entertainment.
As a diehard boxing fan, Hearn admitted that the fight was not his cup of tea. However, he recognized the commercial success it generated and the challenge it must have been for Tyson. He concluded by expressing his relief that everyone involved in the fight was safe and that it was an unforgettable moment in the world of sports.
