Paul took advantage of Tyson’s subpar agility, dancing around the ring and throwing jabs from a distance. When the two did engage, Tyson struggled to land a massive punch due to his fatigue.

Despite the heated lead-up to the fight, Paul showed respect in the closing moments of the eighth round, bowing to Tyson. The New York native returned the favor, reaching out his hand to Paul.

The heavyweight matchup had been a long time coming. It was initially scheduled for July 20 but was rescheduled after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a May 26 flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson’s doctors forced him to limit training for several weeks to allow his ulcer to flare up.

After Paul’s win on Friday evening, Tyson will have other bumps and bruises to address. It was an eight-round bout between the two icons, with the 29-year-old Paul getting the better of 58-year-old Tyson. Netflix live-streamed the event, the first time the company has done so for a sporting event.
