The Olympic bronze medalist remains the last Indian male boxer to take home a medal at the quadrennial extravaganza when he claimed the third podium spot at the 2008 edition of the Beijing Summer Games.

Paul scored a unanimous decision victory against the likes of Iron Mike on Saturday at the AT&T Arena in Texas, capping off a high-profile fight that has been on fans’ minds since the fight was announced.

Tyson had not been involved in a competitive fight since 2005 and came out of retirement for the fight, which was postponed by six months from the originally proposed date for medical reasons as Tyson dealt with stomach ulcers.

The age difference between the participants was so great that the fight was denied permission in several states in the United States of America before Texas stepped in to stage the multi-million dollar event.

The day’s undercard also featured Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat, who recorded a victory over Whindersson Nunes in the super-middleweight category that day.
