YouTube star Jake Paul defeats former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a Netflix special.

At AT&T Stadium, in front of almost 70,000 people, Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in a fight that was livestreamed by Netflix.

Following an occasionally bizarre build-up to an unexpected contest, the heavyweight boxing matchup pitted the 27-year-old social media phenomenon against the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion.

Although Paul was the betting favorite going into the battle, it's unlikely that anyone would profit as much as the two boxers will.

Tyson's career record dropped to 50-7, and it was his first professional bout since 2005.
