The quality of the Tyson-Paul fight was put into stark focus by its co-main event which proceeded it, as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano produced a classic bout with Taylor retaining her undisputed world light-welterweight champion status in controversial fashion.

While Tyson got off to a good start, his age eventually showed, as the 58-year-old struggled to keep up with his 27-year-old opponent. Paul was in control throughout the eight-round battle, landing 78 of the 278 punches he threw.
