Taylor lost a bet to Jake Paul as he beat Mike TysonSportsfile
Taylor, 38, won the clash despite many fans claiming she was gifted the result against the seven-division champion.
The pride of Ireland’s interest in the evening did not come to an end after her result though.
She had made a bet with Paul that he would lose to Tyson last week.
The bet was worth the pair’s purses from their respective fights.
Taylor challenged Paul by saying, “Put your money where your mouth is”.
This means that if Paul had lost, he may have had to cough up his £30m winnings from his fight.
However, with Paul winning, it does mean that Taylor could be set to forfeit her £4.6m, which is the largest fight purse in women’s boxing history.
It is not yet known whether or not Paul will actually force Taylor to pay up on the bet though.

Despite claiming the win over Serrano, Taylor was branded a “cheat” as her opponent was left bloodied.
Taylor caused a huge cut above the left eye of the Puerto Rican in the fourth round with her head.
Paul vs Tyson shocking punch stats
THE punch stats from Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul made for “sad” reading.
Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.
But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.
In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches – averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.
In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.
By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches – nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent – but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.
His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.
However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.
She then honed in on the cut as she targeted it with left hooks in most of her combinations.
Taylor was slammed as a “cheat” by Serrano’s corner during the contest.
She was eventually handed a point deduction for incessantly butting the problem area.
After the fight, Serrano claimed that it was the same thing that Taylor did against Chantelle Cameron.
She said: “I knew the judges would be shady, I went up three divisions and dared to be great.
“She headbutts in every fight, she does it in other fights.
“I am a champion, I am happy and super-grateful to be here.”
There was plenty of controversy throughout the entire night of the Netflix show.
Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat dry-humped his opponent Whindersson Nunez during the undercard fight.
Paul also had to contend with some criticism from fans as he was booed during his entrance.
Viewers also had issues with Netflix’s live stream of the event due to technical difficulties.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson round-by-round
MIKE TYSON’s long-awaited return to the ring didn’t have the fairytale ending fight fans dreamed of.
SunSport’s boxing expert Wally Downes Jr recaps one of the drabbest and most forgettable nights in boxing history.
And he didn’t hold back, issuing a scathing assessment of social media sensation Jake Paul.
Round One
Paul says “I love you, Mike” just before the opening bell sounds. He quickly runs away and holds the boxing legend.
Tyson draws a big reaction from the crowd as he lands a jab and a good right hand.
Verdict: 10-9 Tyson
Round Two
Paul ran away in the opener and held – just like we thought he would.
Tommy Fury had it first and now Mike Tyson. It’s clever because Tyson will tire. Paul tags Tyson’s body with a straight right.
Tyson looks spent now. 180 seconds in and the fight looks over.
Verdict: 10-9 Tyson
Round Three
The legend cannot even keep his gumshield in. As expected it’s a waste of time. Paul has run away until the 58-year-old has tired.
Shooting ducks in a barrel now. Tyson might get hurt here. Paul lands a couple of clumsy shots and Tyson wobbles backwards.
Tragic after three.
Verdict: 10-9 Paul
Round Four
This is proper rubbish. The crowd are bored and boos are being heard.
This is just two tired big lumps going at it. One a legend, one a promoter.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Five
Paul jabs the body and aims right for the head and another one-two clips the icon.
Tyson cannot keep his mouthpiece in, he is gasping for air. Paul lands a left hook but then so does Tyson.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Six
Thank God these weren’t three-minute rounds. We are getting about four punches per round.
Tyson is gasping in the air but replays show a left hook did graze Paul’s beard.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Seven
Tyson slips a jab and tries an uppercut. The commentator admits it has been a “sad” spectacle.
The AT&T stadium has been utterly stunk out. Paul is looking just as tired as Tyson.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
Round Eight
Go back to YouTube, Jake. You’re an excellent conman. But you’ve never been a boxer.
The Judges decide: 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. I’m glad Tyson gets paid and has stayed safe.
But what a laughable performance from Paul to add to his stinker with Tommy Fury.
Verdict 10-9 Paul
