All three judges judged the fight in favor of Pavlos. The scores were 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. After Paul's win, his professional record improved to 11-1 while Tyson fell to 50-7.

“Shh at this fight. Still the goat,” Freddie Gibbs posted along with a photo of him sitting next to Tyson.
“They set up Unc…” Meek Mill tweeted.
“RESPECT TO JAKE PAUL F*CK ALL THESE HATERS THIS KID DID HIS SH*T,” Lil Pump added.

On November 7, Netflix premiered its first two episodes Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, a two-episode documentary chronicling the start of the race narrated by Ice-T.
