Uncrowned has Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul results, live round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Tyson vs. Paul fight card on Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson faces YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in a blockbuster, eight-round professional boxing match live on Netflix.
Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) has defeated a motley array of opposition since kicking off his professional boxing career in 2020, knocking out the NBA's Nate Robinson, MMA's Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, and most recently bare-knuckle boxing standout Mike Perry. The 27-year-old former Disney star has also beaten MMA legends Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz on points. His lone loss in the ring came in a 2023 split decision at the hands of Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Tyson vs. Paul will be contested under modified rules, featuring eight two-minute rounds rather than the usual three-minute rounds in men's boxing, and with heavier 14-ounce gloves rather than the usual 10-ounce gloves for professional heavyweight bouts. The fight will go on both competitors' pro records.
In the much-anticipated co-featured bout, Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) rematch their April 2022 thriller with Taylor's super lightweight titles on the line. Ireland's Taylor, 38, defeated Puerto Rico's Serrano, 36, in a divisive split decision (97-93, 96-94, 94-96) in their first meeting, which served as the first women's boxing bout to headline Madison Square Garden and was widely praised as 2022's Fight of the Year.
The Tyson vs. Paul start time for the preliminary card is at 5:30 p.m. ET on the Netflix Sports’ and MVP Promotions’ YouTube channels. The main card airs live at 8 p.m. ET, free for Netflix subscribers.

On-site report: Lucas Bahdi def. Armando Casamonica
ARLINGTON, Texas — Lucas Bahdi didn’t punish Armando Casamonica in the manner he promised Friday after Casamonica came in 3.5 pounds overweight Thursday.
Bahdi actually appeared lucky to have escaped with a 10-round, majority decision victory over the previously unbeaten Italian on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul undercard at AT&T Stadium. Judge Mike Ross scored their fight a draw, 95-95, but judges David Iacobucci (96-93) and Nate Palmer (98-92) scored Bahdi the winner of a fight that lacked action.
Casamonica (14-1, 3 KOs) has a much lower knockout ratio than Bahdi (18-0, 15 KOs), but the shiftier fighter consistently controlled the pace, pressed the action at times, and never appeared affected by his supposedly dangerous opponent’s punches. Bahdi, who was widely listed as at least an 8-1 favorite, had difficulty tracking down his slippery opponent and couldn’t connect with the type of devastating shot that changed his career almost four months earlier.
In July, a then-unknown Bahdi burst upon the U.S. boxing scene when he knocked out lightweight prospect Ashton Sylve in the sixth round on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry undercard at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Sylve (11-1, 9 KOs), of Long Beach, California, was a highly touted 135-pound prospect that Paul’s company, MVP Promotions, represents. The 20-year-old Sylve was initially scheduled to face another young, highly regarded American lightweight, Floyd Schofield, on the Paul-Tyson undercard.
Once Bahdi beat him, MVP Promotions added Bahdi to its roster.

Final prelim: Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool
USA's Shadasia Green (14-1, 11 KOs) and Canada's Melinda Watpool (7-0, 2 KOs) collide for the vacant WBO super middleweight championship in the first of three world title fights tonight.
Green's only career defeat was a decision loss to Franchon Crews-Dezurn this past December in Orlando.
Lucas Bahdi edges a majority decision (95-95, 96-93, 98-92) over Armando Casamonica in their lightweight battle of unbeatens.
A very close fight, the 98-92 card in favour of Bahdi will be controversial.

On-site report: Bruce Carrington Jr. def. Dana Coolwell
ARLINGTON, Texas – Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington didn’t deliver the knockout he hoped he’d produce on Mike Tyson’s undercard Friday afternoon. But the unbeaten, Brooklyn-bred featherweight contender did atone for his subpar performance seven weeks earlier.
Carrington, 27, dropped Australia’s Dana Coolwell twice, completely controlled the action and convincingly won an eight-round unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium.
All three judges scored it a shutout for Carrington, 80-70 apiece, on their cards in the first fight on the Tyson-Jake Paul undercard.
Carrington (14-0, 8 KOs), who grew up in the same Brownsville neighborhood as Tyson, caught Tyson’s attention by imitating his infamous post-fight speech following his 38-second demolition of Lou Savarese 24 years ago. Tyson pushed Paul to make sure Carrington was provided a spot on this high-profile undercard.
The supremely confident Carrington and his handlers, including promoter Bob Arum, weren’t especially happy with his prior performance, a 10-round majority decision defeat of southpaw Sulaiman Segawa on Sept. 27 at Madison Square Garden’s Theater in New York. He defeated Segawa by the same score, 97-93, on two scorecards, but one judge scored that bout a draw, 95-95.
Carrington got right back into camp for his fight with Coolwell (13-3, 8 KOs).
He felt out Coolwell during the first two rounds, but began to take control in the third round. A right hand by Carrington sent Coolwell to the seat of his trunks a few seconds before the midway mark of the fourth round, but Coolwell was able to recover and made it to the fifth round.
An accumulation of Carrington’s punches also caused Coolwell to take a knee with 1:02 remaining in the eighth round. Coolwell collected himself, got up and made it to the final bell.
Coolwell has not been knocked out in 16 professional fights. Before Carrington shut him out, he had lost only a pair of split decisions to unbeaten opponents — Jake Wyllie (then 4-0) and Ender Luces (then 16-0).
