Uncrowned has Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul results, live round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Tyson vs. Paul fight card on Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson faces YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in a blockbuster, eight-round professional boxing match live on Netflix.

Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) last competed in a November 2020 exhibition match against fellow Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a split draw. Now 58 years old, Tyson’s most recent professional in-ring appearance came nearly 20 years ago, in a sixth-round TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. He will be almost three decades older than Paul when the two collide. Tyson slapped Paul across the face at Thursday’s final faceoff, kicking off a near-melee in a wild scene.

Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) has defeated a motley array of opposition since kicking off his professional boxing career in 2020, knocking out the NBA’s Nate Robinson, MMA’s Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, and most recently bare-knuckle boxing standout Mike Perry. The 27-year-old former Disney star has also beaten MMA legends Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz on points. His lone loss in the ring came in a 2023 split decision at the hands of Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Tyson vs. Paul will be contested under modified rules, featuring eight two-minute rounds rather than the usual three-minute rounds in men’s boxing, and with heavier 14-ounce gloves rather than the usual 10-ounce gloves for professional heavyweight bouts. The fight will go on both competitors’ pro records.

In the much-anticipated co-featured bout, Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) rematch their April 2022 thriller with Taylor’s super lightweight titles on the line. Ireland’s Taylor, 38, defeated Puerto Rico’s Serrano, 36, in a divisive split decision (97-93, 96-94, 94-96) in their first meeting, which served as the first women’s boxing bout to headline Madison Square Garden and was widely praised as 2022’s Fight of the Year.

The Tyson vs. Paul start time for the preliminary card is at 5:30 p.m. ET on the Netflix Sports’ and MVP Promotions’ YouTube channels. The main card airs live at 8 p.m. ET, free for Netflix subscribers.

  • On-site report: Bruce Carrington Jr. def. Dana Coolwell

    ARLINGTON, Texas – Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington didn’t deliver the knockout he hoped he’d produce on Mike Tyson’s undercard Friday afternoon. But the unbeaten, Brooklyn-bred featherweight contender did atone for his subpar performance seven weeks earlier.

    Carrington, 27, dropped Australia’s Dana Coolwell twice, completely controlled the action and convincingly won an eight-round unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium.

    All three judges scored it a shutout for Carrington, 80-70 apiece, on their cards in the first fight on the Tyson-Jake Paul undercard.

    Carrington (14-0, 8 KOs), who grew up in the same Brownsville neighborhood as Tyson, caught Tyson’s attention by imitating his infamous post-fight speech following his 38-second demolition of Lou Savarese 24 years ago. Tyson pushed Paul to make sure Carrington was provided a spot on this high-profile undercard.

    The supremely confident Carrington and his handlers, including promoter Bob Arum, weren’t especially happy with his prior performance, a 10-round majority decision defeat of southpaw Sulaiman Segawa on Sept. 27 at Madison Square Garden’s Theater in New York. He defeated Segawa by the same score, 97-93, on two scorecards, but one judge scored that bout a draw, 95-95.

    Carrington got right back into camp for his fight with Coolwell (13-3, 8 KOs).

    He felt out Coolwell during the first two rounds, but began to take control in the third round. A right hand by Carrington sent Coolwell to the seat of his trunks a few seconds before the midway mark of the fourth round, but Coolwell was able to recover and made it to the fifth round.

    An accumulation of Carrington’s punches also caused Coolwell to take a knee with 1:02 remaining in the eighth round. Coolwell collected himself, got up and made it to the final bell.

    Coolwell has not been knocked out in 16 professional fights. Before Carrington shut him out, he had lost only a pair of split decisions to unbeaten opponents — Jake Wyllie (then 4-0) and Ender Luces (then 16-0).

  • Bahdi vs. Casamonica – Round 1

    Casamonica is walking Bahdi down in the opener. Bahdi flicking out a consistent jab. A strong overhand right from Bahdi pushes Casamonica’s head back late in Round 1, the best connect so far.

    10-9 Bahdi.

  • Next up: Lucas Bahdi vs. Armando Casamonica

    Undefeated Canadian Lucas Bahdi (17-0, 15 KOs) meets late-replacement opponent Armando Casamonica (14-0, 3 KOs) in a 10-round lightweight bout.

    Bahdi produced a sensational knockout win over Ashton “H20” Sylve in a major upset in July.

  • Carrington beats Coolwell by UD

    Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington wins every round on all 3 cards (80-70, 80-70, 80-70) against the tough Dana Coolwell in the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul opener.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 8

    COOLWELL DOWN AGAIN! He is down for the second time in this fight. A vicious left hook rocked Coolwell. Carrington followed it up with a flurry while Coolwell was on the ropes and forced the Australian to take a knee.

    Dominant showing from Carrington.

    10-8 Carrington, final score: 80-70 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 7

    Coolwell hit with a heavy four-punch combination to the head. Carrington doubles up on the right hand with a straight right/right uppercut combination. An impressive performance from Carrington, but he will want a knockout on such a big stage.

    10-9 Carrington, 70-62 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 6

    Quiet first half, the pace has noticeably slowed. Carrington lands with a counter right hand and is targeting the left hook to the body. He’s doubling up on it as well.

    10-9 Carrington, 60-53 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 5

    Coolwell is taking a lot of punches but Carrington has struggled to hurt him again since the knockdown. A very tough fighter, this one might be going the distance.

    10-9 Carrington, 50-44 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 4

    HUGE LEFT HOOK from “Shu Shu” Carrington! And down goes Coolwell! A big breakthrough for the American prospect in Round 4. Coolwell gets to his feet and fires back with his own right hand, letting Carrington and the referee know that he’s not finished yet.

    10-8 Carrington, 40-35 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 3

    Carrington is starting to let his hands go on Coolwell now. Coolwell is taking a lot of punishment but isn’t overly hurt. Carrington is told by his corner that he needs to focus more of his attack on the body, as that may be the area that wilts first, which is often the case with tough fighters.

    10-9 Carrington, 30-27 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 2

    Coolwell attempting to establish his jab early in round two, already more aggressive than the first round, which was one-sided for Carrington. Coolwell attempting to set a high pace, but not many landing. Carrington connects with a right hand at the halfway point of the second. Great combination from Carrington in the final 30 seconds.

    10-9 Carrington, 20-18 Carrington.

  • Carrington vs. Coolwell – Round 1

    Dominant opener for Carrington, who is looking to apply early pressure on Coolwell. Coolwell is on the back foot and is looking to survive the early onslaught from Carrington.

    10-9 Carrington.
