defeated on points in what was a comfortable victory for the fighter who was 31 years the legendary heavyweight's junior. In truth it was a fight with very little action.

Neither Paul nor Tyson landed many significant shots whatsoever with the 58-year-old looking gassed out after the very first round.

Paul looked disappointed with himself after the performance and did not overly celebrate well the bell rang with boos being heard around Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.

Paul was wary of Tyson's power early, looking to cover up quickly after throwing overhand rights while the heavyweight legend had looked to use his explosivity to land big shots.

But it was Paul who landed the first shot of the fight with a nice overhand right after a counter on a left-hand jab from Tyson.

In the second round Tyson immediately looked a little slower than he had in the first, while standing in the middle of the ring and looking to counter Paul's attacks.

In the third, Paul landed three straight left hooks with Tyson's movement in the ring looking very limited with the younger fighter showing his athleticism with the writing looking on the wall for what was to come.

By the fourth round, Paul had taken the center of the ring and begun loading up his shots and lowered his hands with Tyson not throwing much at all. The fifth round had seen much of the same as the previous, with Paul landing a nice overhand right when Tyson had been going backwards.

The sixth round saw fans booing with a lack of action from both men, with Tyson's age showing as he looked to throw very little shots.

Paul's corner were angry with him and told him to go into the final two rounds looking for the KO, whic he refused to do.

Tyson showed some action in the early seventh as he threw a few jabs with a straight left landing, before Paul showed his speed advantage with a few nice shots heading into the final round.

The final round saw Tyson look to land a shot to end the bout and give himself a chance, but to no avail with Paul going on to win comfortably on points.

Paul had entered the ring off the back of seeing his close friend and team-mate Amanda Serrano lose in heartbreaking decision to Katie Taylor in a result that many will deem as controversial after the Irish champion had a point deducted for headbutts.

The fight card on Netflix had buffered for thousands watching around the world, with many voicing their complaints across social media.
