Mike Tyson will return from a lengthy retirement to fight Jake Paul in an eight-rounder tonight. The event will be shown live on Netflix at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Live results below of the action.
Tyson’s slap of Paul, 27, during the weigh-in yesterday leaves a dark cloud over tonight’s fight, making one suspect that we may see something crazy happen in their fight.
Hopefully, it doesn’t involve a disqualification for the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Tyson, who seems to have a chip on his shoulder about being the underdog against the YouTuber Paul.
The fight that stands out on the mostly pedestrian-level undercard is the rematch between Undisputed female light Welterweight champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) in a 10-round fight with the customary two-minute rounds.
In an oddity, WBC light welterweight champion Mario Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) defends his belt against Abel Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KOs).

Taylor-Serrano are getting up in age, with Ireland’s Taylor at 38 and facing 36-year-old Serrano. They’re both young compared to the 58-year-old Mike Tyson in the main event. I don’t know what we’ll get in the Taylor vs. Serrano fight.
Their fight two years ago was controversial, with Taylor winning a 10-round split decision over Serrano in New York on April 30, 2022. Serrano beat the living daylights out of the pure boxer Taylor all night, landing the harder shots and getting the better of her. The judges still gave it to Taylor.
