The comeback of the legendary boxer, 58, against former YouTuber Jake Paul drew 120 million virtual viewers – and condemnation
Mike Tyson’s return to professional boxing after nearly two decades generated considerable public attention before Friday night’s comeback fight against the YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, but the reviews were not kind.
The 58-year-old former heavyweight champion’s lamentable performance in a dull defeat by a unanimous decision elicited disappointment and condemnation as boos rained down from the crowd of more than 72,000 spectators at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, about 20 miles west of Dallas.
