Is Francis Ngannou next for Jake Paul?

Making his 12th appearance inside the squared circle on Friday night, ‘The Problem Child’ scored the biggest win of his professional boxing career, besting former undisputed heavyweight world champion ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Paul landed a unanimous decision victory after the 58-year-old Tyson ran out of steam halfway through the eight-round affair. Paul’s win over Tyson generated a whole host of reactions from fighters, including KSI, Terence Crawford, and Conor McGregor.

Also included on that list was Ngannou, who expressed his desire to slap up ‘El Gallo’ the next time they run into one another.

“Next time I see this Jake Paul guy I’m gonna give him 2 or 3 slaps,” Ngannou wrote on X.

Paul and Ngannou are both under contract with the PFL making their pairing a real possibility. Unfortunately, Paul isn’t usually interested in fighting opponents he doesn’t have a size, age, or experience advantage over.

Jake Paul is tired of hearing excuses

Paul’s career has been mostly made of fighting past-their-prime athletes and his fight with Tyson was no different. Still, ‘The Problem Child’ has acquiesced to the fact that no matter who he defeats, there will always be people quick to write-off his success.

“I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but when someone’s just surviving in the ring, basically it’s hard to make it exciting,” Paul said during the post-fight press conference. “So I couldn’t really get him to engage me or slip shots and do something super cool or whatever, but I don’t care about what people have to say. They’re always going to have something to say and that it is what it is” (h/t Bloody Elbow).

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was a massive hit for Netflix. Unfortunately, a lot of fight fans weren’t able to watch the event.

Friday’s event at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium was a smashing success by all accounts. The event drew more than 70,000 spectators and generated more than 120 million viewers on the popular streaming site.

Sadly, a lot of people were left following along with the fight on social media after Netflix crashed more than an hour before the big fight went down.

“This is the biggest event,” Paul said on the success of the bout. “Over 120 million people on Netflix. We crashed the site.”

According to DownDetector, roughly 90,000 viewers reported outages in the hour leading up to Paul vs. Tyson.

Netflix streaming struggles doesn’t bode well for his impending partnership with the NFL and WWE

Users on X, Facebook, and pretty much every other major social media platform shared images of their frozen connections, many of which were stuck on a 25% loading screen. The evening was also marred with technical issues during the live broadcast, the most egregious being an incident where Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ microphone didn’t work while he was speaking with analysts.

A similar situation occurred when legendary pugilist Evander Holyfield joined the panel but couldn’t hear anything that was being said. Roy Jones Jr. had to repeatedly lean over and well questions into Holyfield’s ear.

Netflix has not yet commented on the issue, but the streaming fail doesn’t bode well for the Christmas day when the streaming giant is scheduled to host two live NFL games. Netflix will also be the new home of WWE Raw beginning January 6.

Hopefully, Netflix can work out the kinks before then.

Jake Paul Outworks ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, Scores Unanimous Decision Victory – Paul vs. Tyson Highlights

Jake Paul scored the biggest win of his career, defeating the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet‘ in an entertaining eight-round scrap at AT&T Stadium.

Tyson came out looking to close the distance and connect early, but Paul made him pay near the end of the first with a glancing right hook. The second round — like the first — remained relatively close with ‘Iron’ actually outlanding Paul. However, the tide began to turn in the third when Paul landed a stiff left that wobbled Tyson. Paul landed a few more left that appeared to take Tyson off his game.

The next three rounds saw Paul take control of the ring, leaning on his jab to keep distance between himself and Tyson while trying to set up his patented right hand.

In the seventh, Tyson came out looking to push the pace and land early, but Paul was able to avoid the danger and maintained control of the fight with his footwork and distance management. That appeared to be Tyson’s final push as he just couldn’t muster much in the way of offense throughout the final two rounds.

By the time it was all said and done, ‘The Problem Child’ had outstruck Tyson by 60 strikes and the official announcement was nothing more than a formality.

Official Result: Official Result: Jake Paul def. Mike Tyson via unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 79-73)
