Francis Ngannou vs. Jake Paul? ‘The Predator’ Sends Ominous Message Post-Tyson Fight

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).

Netflix Scores Big Numbers With 120M Viewers for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and Crashed the Site

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.

Those who believed Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson would be the same old song and dance as other Jake Paul spectacles in the ring proved to be correct.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated Tyson in a one-sided decision in the main event of a card at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Tyson, in his vintage style, came out aggressive, looking to chase down the 27-year-old and flashing his power with his initial shots. Paul tried to clinch up more than once in the round, landing a key right hand.

“El Gallo,” however, started to get into a groove over the next few rounds, working Tyson over with combinations. Paul became the fighter on the front foot when Tyson slowed down as the minutes went on. While “Iron Mike” tried to increase his pace, his younger opponent was simply faster and landed at will.

Tyson seemed to pick things up in the seventh round, but by this point, had landed just 16 punches. And he did nothing in the eighth round to change the tide, as Paul ended up pulling off a near complete sweep on the scorecards to win a unanimous decision.

The fight was originally scheduled to take place in July, but the bout was postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up on a flight.

“The Problem Child” instead face Mike Perry, defeating the bare-knuckle champion via sixth-round knockout. That was the Cleveland native’s fourth straight win since suffering the lone loss of his boxing career against Tommy Fury.

Meanwhile, Friday’s results marked Tyson’s first professional boxing match since his loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. fought in an exhibition bout in November 2020.
