In an official heavyweight boxing match held on Friday evening at the AT&T Stadium 8 in Arlington, Texas, with a crowd of 72,300 spectators, Jake “El Gallo” Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) emerged victorious via unanimous decision over the 58-year-old ring legend “Iron” Mike Tyson (50-7, 44 KOs). The scores for the eight-round bout were 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73. The fight was contested with 14-ounce gloves and two-minute rounds.

Tyson emerged victorious in the first round, landing the inaugural blow of the evening with a right hand to Paul’s head. Paul responded with a shot later in the round, prompting Tyson to be cautioned for a low blow. In round two, Paul maintained his distance, scoring with a body shot while Tyson landed a powerful left hook. By round three, it became evident that Tyson’s mobility was severely compromised due to a brace on his right leg, as Paul maintained control of the fight from the outside. In round four, Paul’s confidence surged as he unleashed a flurry of combinations. From rounds five to eight, Paul predominantly targeted Tyson’s head and body, while Tyson occasionally landed a left hook to Paul’s head.

Katie Taylor retains her undisputed super lightweight championship following a narrow victory over Amanda Serrano in another extraordinary and blood-soaked encounter between these two highly skilled and formidable fighters.

The 95-94 decision on all three scorecards was not without controversy, as Serrano sustained a severe cut over her right eye due to an accidental headbutt in the sixth round. Taylor was cautioned twice for excessive headbutting and had a point deducted in the eighth round.

The announcement of a winner brought boos from the crowd in Texas, However both women showed bravery, skill and untapped wells of grit but it was Taylor whom ultimately would emerge triumphant.

“This is an amazing moment again for women’s boxing, and we put on a show,” Taylor said. “We put on a performance again for everybody, and just thank God for another amazing night.”

“We trained so hard for those moments,” said Taylor. “Anybody’s punch can change a fight in boxing and she’s a hard puncher. She’s a very tough warrior and I was prepared for that. I don’t care if the commentary team or the crowd disagree.”

“I knew it was going to be a little shady, but listen, I came here, I chose to be great,” Serrano said. “I went up three divisions. I lost. I dared to be great tonight, and I went up three divisions. I’m the featherweight champion of the world, and I want to be great.”
