Mike Tyson's former trainer is “embarrassed” by the outcome of the boxing legend's highly-anticipated bout against Jake Paul.

Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision in an eight-round heavyweight bout at Arlington's AT&T Stadium on Friday. “Yeah I was [surprised],” Fenech said of the fight that garnered over 60 million people on its Netflix livestream. “I had so many people ring me and so many people lost money because of me. I’m pretty embarrassed,” the 60-year-old added.

Fenech and Tyson have known each other for more than two decades now as the former trained the latter for multiple fights, including the 2005 Kevin McBride bout. Following his shock loss to the Irish boxer, Tyson announced his retirement with a record of 50-6. Despite his Friday's loss to the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Fenech said that Tyson emerged victorious.
