The AI-predicted outcome that no one wants to see
The growing prevalence of generative artificial intelligence in daily life has sparked debate and concern regarding its ethical and environmental ramifications. However, in a more focused context, social media users have discovered AI to be beneficial in forecasting the upcoming Tyson-Paul fight, sponsored by Netflix.
An AI analysis has indicated three potential outcomes for the bout scheduled on November 15. Tyson could secure an early victory with a decisive punch, Paul might endure through eight rounds to win by decision, or, in a less favorable scenario, an injury to one of the fighters could prematurely conclude the match.

Who is Mike Tyson?
A boxer hailing from New York City, Tyson is often celebrated as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in history, having achieved the distinction of being the youngest world heavyweight champion at the age of 20.
At 58 years old, he reached the zenith of his boxing career during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, holding the title of undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990.
Known by the moniker “Iron Mike,” Tyson has faced numerous challenges outside the ring, including multiple convictions and periods of incarceration. He made a return to boxing in 1996, swiftly reclaiming his championship titles before facing two-time champion Evander Holyfield in a highly publicized match, which he lost. The subsequent rematch in 1997 became infamous when Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear twice, resulting not only in his defeat but also in the revocation of his boxing license. Tyson’s final heavyweight title bout occurred in 2002 against British champion Lennox Lewis, who defeated him by knockout in the eighth round.
Following a series of non-title fights and a bankruptcy filing, Tyson ultimately retired from boxing in 2005.

Mike Tyson responds to claims he’s “too old” to fight Jake Paul, confirming he’s back in training.
Mike Tyson has addressed concerns regarding his age in relation to his upcoming fight with Jake Paul, cautioning the YouTuber-turned-boxer about the potential risks of facing Mike Perry.
Upon the announcement of the bout between Tyson and Paul, numerous critics highlighted the significant 31-year age difference. Additionally, the fact that Tyson has not participated in a match for four years further fueled discussions surrounding the fight.
The fighters encountered several challenges in securing the fight’s sanctioning in Texas, with former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder expressing his disapproval of the commission’s decision to approve the match.
Although the fight has been postponed until November, Tyson has resumed training and has responded to Wilder’s apprehensions regarding his age.
“Let Mike get hurt if that’s the case. You don’t need to concern yourself with my financial responsibilities,” the legendary heavyweight stated in a recent interview with Esquire magazine during a training session. “People claim this is illogical, but how old is he? He is not comparable to me. He cannot travel to Mongolia and expect to be recognized.”
Tyson further asserted his confidence in his ability to withstand Paul’s punches. “To be frank, I don’t believe he can inflict any harm on me. Coach, I genuinely don’t think he can hurt me!”
