lost to via unanimous decision in the former world heavyweight champion's first fight in 19 years overnight.

The eight-round fight, which took place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and was streamed on Netflix, was scored 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in favour of the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Paul, 27, used his youth advantage to repeatedly close the gap on 58-year-old Tyson and the YouTuber continued to land heavy blows on a static Tyson, who looked grateful for the bell at the end of the third round.

Tyson struggled to keep pace with Paul, who was able to pick and choose his spots on an increasingly weary Tyson.

The bout was all but over headed into the final round, as Tyson took his time getting off the corner stool.

There was little of the famous power left in any of Tyson's punches, and the pair embraced as the bell rang.
