Paul ultimately landed far more blows though Tyson absorbed them without ever looking like he might go down.
In the final seconds of the eighth round, Paul bowed in respect to Tyson.

Tickets brought in $17.8 million, thebiggest gate totalever for a match held outside of Las Vegas.
The co-main event was the undisputed junior welterweight title rematch between Puerto Ricos Amanda Serrano and Irelands Katie Taylor.
The match was postponed from its original July date when Tyson had to undergo treatment for a stomach ulcer.
That gave the two men plenty of time to taunt one another and hype their ultimate confrontation.
This is not gonna come true, young man.
Asked why he would win against such a foe, Tyson quipped, Because Im Mike Tyson.
His one loss came at the hands of British boxer Tommy Fury in a 2023 split decision.
(Paul knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson in an undercard match at that event.)
At that point, he was 50-6, with 44 career knockouts, and declared his retirement.
I do not have the guts to be in this sport anymore, he said at the time.
Tyson then joked that he might fight Logan Paul next.
