It turns out age isn’t just a number.
In a shocking turn of events, 27-year-old Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson by unanimous decision Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Once known as the “Baddest Man on the Planet” Tyson last held the title of Undisputed Heavyweight Champion in 1990. “Iron Mike” last fought in a sanctioned bout on June 5, 2005.
Paul, 27, began building his resume in the ring six years ago, starting with a white-collar boxing match against Deji Olatunji. He eventually moved on to fight professional boxer Tyson Fury, where he lost via split decision.
A slew of celebrities were in attendance to witness the event, including Shaquille O’Neal, Rob Gronkowski, Charlize Theron, Micah Parsons, and Joe Jonas.
The spectacle drew immense hype on social media, so here are some of the best reactions to Paul’s triumph over the all-time great.
