It was a good thing that all the side issues provided enough entertainment, because the fight itself ultimately turned out to be a major disappointment. The foreign media also concluded this. 'Thousands of people leave before the end', wrote The Mirror . According to The Telegraph there were many boos because of 'the flat fight'. Tyson started the fight furiously, but was mainly exhausted in the last rounds. To the disappointment of fans, the boxing legend was spared by Paul, who was 31 years younger.

According to the Daily Mail, Tyson was the one who was the laughing stock. 'A sad night for him, on a night when a 27-year-old YouTuber refused to knock him out at a freak show.' The Sun: 'Paul beat Tyson in their disappointing Netflix blockbuster, with fans booing the boxers. The youngster wore down the veteran and ensured he can forever boast of having beaten Iron Mike.'

,,I'm happy with what I showed. I came here to fight and I fought. I didn't have anything to prove to anyone but myself", said Tyson , who fought through an injury with a knee ligament. ,,Jake is a good fighter, absolutely.''

'And the thousands of people who watched were probably just glad the ridiculous fight was over.' The Sun collected reactions on the internet, where it was written that 'this was the saddest boxing fight ever' and that it 'felt like a waste'. On X, there was a lot of joking about Paul. 'After his victory over Tyson, Paul now wants to take on 100-year-old Jimmy Carter', someone on X referred to the American former politician.

Renowned journalist Piers Morgan wrote on X: 'Tyson would have destroyed Paul in his prime in 90 seconds. A 58-year-old Tyson went eight rounds against a much fitter and very capable boxer half his age. Mockery is all you want, but Mike has the heart of a lion, balls of steel and will always be an absolute legend.'
