After months of anticipation, the winner in the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been declared, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul being named victorious in a unanimous decision.

The two boxers finally went head-to-head at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas today, four months after their fight had originally been scheduled to take place.

The pair were first meant to fight in July, but the bout got postponed after Tyson experienced a flare-up of an ulcer.

But the 58-year-old boxer has since recovered and got himself fighting fit, ready to take on the former YouTuber who's 31 years his junior.

The eight round fight went the distance and was scored 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in favour of the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

It might have been the first time the pair actually met in the ring, but tonight's bout was far from the first time Tyson and Paul have attacked one another.

In fact, Tyson even went as far as to slap Paul in the final face-off prior to their boxing match on November 14.

The slap came after Tyson and Paul conducted their weigh in, with Paul coming in at 227.2lb while Tyson came in at 228.4lb.

The pair then came face-to-face, and Tyson slapped Paul before security were able to step in.

After seemingly getting a taste of what was in store, Paul claimed he 'didn't even feel' the slap.

"He’s an angry little elf," Paul said. "Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m f***ing him up.

“He hits like a b***, it’s personal now, he must die!”

Big words, to say the least.

Tyson thankfully did not die during the bout, even with the high stakes of it being his first professional fight since 2005.

The renowned boxer spoke confidently ahead of the fight, claiming Paul was 'in a lot of trouble'.

"He can say whatever he wants. In the ring is where the party begins and he's finally going to party with the big boys," he said.

Paul's record prior to his fight with Tyson was 10-1, including seven knockouts. His loss came in early 2023, when he was defeated by Tyson Fury's half-brother, Tommy Fury.

However, the former YouTuber remained determined to beat Tyson, saying: "I fear no man. I want him to be that old savage Mike.

"He says he's going to kill me, is that what you're going to do?... I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out."
