Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in their eight-round exhibition bout in Texas
UFC star Conor McGregor and music mogul Drake have lost a combined total of up to $9million after placing bets on Mike Tyson's highly-anticipated fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul . Paul utilised the age difference to his advantage, delivering a professional and confident performance against the 58 year old Tyson.
Paul was aiming to add Tyson to his list of victories over combat sports figures, including Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. Despite the odds being in his favour, he was not the popular choice among public figures, with Canadian music star Drake betting $335,000 on Tyson to win.READ MORE: Who won Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?
