The fight had initially been scheduled for earlier in the year but was postponed after ‘Iron Mike’ suffered an ulcer flare-up and was ruled out on medical grounds.
Paul ended up the winner on the day, earning himself a unanimous victory by dominating against an out of sorts Tyson, who clearly showed his age in the ring, fighting as a 57-year-old.
It was a historic fight as it was the most-streamed sporting event ever at the time, with over 65 million tuning into Netflix to watch it.
