Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will take centre stage tonight but there is plenty of action on the undercard, including a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul finally meet in the ring tonight after months of trading insults.
Tyson is making his return to the ring at the age of 58 against 27-year-old Jake Paul in what is his first fight for four years and his first professional outing for almost 20. Paul, who has won 10 of his 11 professional fights, starts as the favourite at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
But Tyson has come in for support from fans and bookmakers after slapping Paul at last night’s weigh-in with the former undisputed heavyweight world champion confident of producing an upset. On the undercard, the best fight of the night will likely be the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, two years after the Irish star edged out her rival in New York. Here are all the results from the undercard and main event…
Bruce Carrington bt Dana Coolwell via UD
Rising featherweight star Bruce Carrington vowed to show why he is so highly rated as he took on Australia’s Dana Coolwell. Hailing from New York, he wanted to make it a double on the card for Brooklyn natives, alongside Mike Tyson. And after feeling each other out for the opening couple of rounds, it was Carrington who began to take the upper hand, dropping Coolwell in the fourth session.
He did so again in the final round but Coolwell beat the count on both occasions and ultimately, the New Yorker had to settle for a points win with the judges giving him every round, meaning they all scored the bout 80-70.
