No matter what you think about Jake Paul being a YouTuber-turned-boxer or about the legendary Mike Tyson stepping foot in the ring at the age of 58 against somebody 31 years his junior… this was a must-watch fight.

It was the biggest age gap in a professionally sanctioned boxing match. And despite the excitement, I think the fight went exactly how many of us expected.

Paul was driven to the ring in a Chevvy, to the sounds of Phil Collin’s ‘In The Air Tonight’ and a chorus of boos from those in attendance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

However, Tyson was showered with cheers – as the estimated 72,000 in attendance were just in awe at seeing the boxing legend once again return to the ring for a professional bout. “Welcome home, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson!”
