Visual Highlights from Paul vs. Tyson and the Taylor-Serrano Boxing Match

Jake Paul’s boxing shorts were reportedly produced at a cost of $1 million (£793,000). Friday night in Texas presented two contrasting boxing spectacles. YouTuber Jake Paul comfortably outboxed 58-year-old Mike Tyson through eight uninspired rounds, occurring just 30 minutes after Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano delivered what was described as an all-time classic bout. This event marked Netflix’s inaugural boxing broadcast, and Paul indicated that over 100 million viewers watched it live. Despite the main event’s underwhelming nature, numerous striking photographs were captured throughout the evening. Here are some of the most notable. Amanda Serrano began her fight against Katie Taylor with intense aggression. Serrano competed for the majority of the match with a significant laceration above her eye, which Taylor consistently targeted. The moment of triumph for Taylor, contrasted with Serrano’s visible expression. Taylor’s mother, a constant presence at her fights, expressed immense joy for her daughter. Jake Paul’s ring entrance was notably lengthy, despite his short drive to the ring. A YouTuber and an undisputed heavyweight champion met in the ring, a sight many had not anticipated witnessing. Paul was considerably more active, landing 78 punches and throwing a total of 278. A powerful punch from Paul, who did not appear to fully press for a knockout. Tyson connected with only 18 punches across all eight rounds. A peculiar instance occurred in the final 10 seconds when Paul bowed to Tyson, which made for a compelling photograph. Paul and Tyson embraced after the fight concluded, by which time many spectators were already departing the stadium. NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal was among those present.
