Paul, 28, had already won 10 of his 11 pro fights, losing just once to Tommy Fury in February 2023.
And the social media star racked up another victory as he beat Tyson by unanimous decision.
Now, Paul is preparing to fight Julio Cesar Chavez this weekend.
But he has been getting ready in idyllic surroundings after splashing the cash on a luxury ranch.
Paul spent £29m on a historic plantation in Georgia – his prize money for beating Tyson.
The stunning ranch covers 5,746 acres and huge ponds, lakes and creeks.
Paul's purchase is one of the biggest private land sales in the history of Georgia.
And his ranch has been described as 'the land ownership equivalent to owning an NFL team.'
The amazing main house boasts eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and several guest homes.
Its situation near the border of Florida means it has an array of wildlife like turkey and deer.

And the ranch may also play host to activities like hunting, watersports and horseback riding.
It's certainly the perfect place for Paul to get his bearings ahead of Saturday's clash with Chavez.
He told DAZN: 'I would say Chavz is most likely going to be the toughest opponent, the most experience, literally the most amount of fights out of all my opponents.
'He's a former world champion, which I haven't faced other than Mike Tyson but he was older.
'Chavez is still in his thirties so this is going to be the toughest one.'

BREAKING NEWS Paul Simon, 83, cancels concerts due to 'unmanageable' chronic condition
Paul Simon has been a touring musician since the 1960s—and at 83, he's still hitting the road. But this weekend, the Bridge Over Troubled Water singer was forced to cancel two scheduled shows in Philadelphia due to 'chronic and intense back pain.' Simon shared a statement on Instagram just hours before he was set to perform at the city's historic Academy of Music, informing fans and ticket holders of the cancellation. 'Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain,' the statement read. 'Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention. Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them,' the statement continued. 'However, we are hopeful after this minor surgical procedure which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates,' the statement explained. The Bridge Over Troubled Water singer has canceled two shows in Philadelphia this weekend as a result of 'chronic and intense back pain.' Seen here November 7, 2016 'In the meantime, please go to your point of purchase or local ticket provider for a full refund.' Simon performed at the venue on Thursday night—the first of what was meant to be a three-show run in Philadelphia as part of his A Quiet Celebration Tour. His next scheduled performance is set for July 7 at the Terrace Theater in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center in Long Beach, California. Simon announced the tour in February, marking his return to the stage after retiring from touring in 2018 due to hearing loss. The tour has been hitting smaller, intimate venues including Austin's Bass Concert Hall, Denver's Paramount Theatre and New York City's Beacon Theater in mini-residencies. After his stop in Long Beach, Simon is scheduled to continue the tour with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and Seattle, before wrapping in early August. Born in 1941 in Newark, New Jersey and raised in Queens, New York, Simon never measured up to his father's hopes and dreams that his son become a lawyer rather than a singer-songwriter, a path he, himself, unsuccessfully tried to follow. Adding to his parental disappointment was his stature. Although he was smart, athletic and personable, Simon was 'small like a mouse, small like a pip squeak, small like the punch line to every short-guy joke the other kids could image,' Peter Ames Carlin wrote book Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon. Teased by classmates, they'd swipe his Yankees cap until he finally went after them with fisticuffs, always getting his hat back. Silencing the self-abuse was harder when he barely grew an inch while his classmates stretched upwards. On a spring afternoon in 1952 when school buses were late and a teacher ushered all the students into the auditorium to hear fourth-grader Art sing, something was awakened inside Simon. When Garfunkel sang Nat King Cole's hit, They Try to Tell Us We're Too Young, Simon knew he, too, wanted to perform – outside of his bedroom behind closed doors, in search of the same applause and cheers. So Simon sought out the company of Garfunkel, and they became pals talking about songs they heard on the radio. Garfunkel tracked the weekly Hit Parade with his mathematical graphs while Simon listened to Latin dance band music. Eventually Simon and Garfunkel broke out of Queens with their music and became American sensations. Paul and Art were inspired by the music of the Everly Brothers and in the early days, called themselves the Urban Everly Brothers. As they became more and more successful they seemed to argue more over artistic discrepancies that began to splinter their bond. In the end, Simon and Garfunkel's increasing troubled relationship, as friends and working colleagues, led to their breakup in 1970. Paul, who composed nearly all of their original songs, enjoyed a successful career following their split. While they never got back together to record a new album, the duo did reunite for the first time to play a free concert in New York's Central Park in September 1981, attracting some 500,000 people, that at the time was the largest concert ever. Warner Bros. Records released a live album of the show, The Concert In Central Park, which went on to go double platinum in the US.

Mauricio Pochettino breaks silence on bombshell report linking him to Brentford job
USA manager Mauricio Pochettino has broken his silence on a bombshell report linking him to the previously vacant Brentford job. The Premier League club ultimately promoted former set-piece coach Keith Andrews to replace Thomas Frank, after the Dane left for Tottenham. But a report from Irish outlet claimed that Pochettino had interviewed for the job along with Steve Cooper. On Saturday, Pochettino was asked about the report by Fox Sports, and told the outlet he was 'never contacted' by the Bees. He added that he 'never talked' to the club, who announced the hiring of 54-year-old Andrews on Friday. Following Spurs' sacking of Ange Postecoglou, Pochettino was also linked with a return to his old club. However, he told reporters that such a scenario was 'not realistic', with the USA a year out from co-hosting the World Cup with Canada and Mexico. The Fox Sports report also noted that - with Pochettino under contract with US Soccer - other teams wishing to speak with him would have to be granted permission by the federation. Pochettino has had some difficult moments leading America since he was hired in September, as his side was knocked out of the CONCACAF Nations League by Panama and lost to Canada in the third place match. He also oversaw a pair of concerning friendly results ahead of the Gold Cup, as the USA lost to Turkey and were trounced 4-0 by Switzlerland. Off the field, he has clashed with the team's talisman Christian Pulisic, who declined to participate in the Gold Cup but said on CBS Sports' 'Call it What You Want' podcast that he requested to be included in the Turkey and Switzerland friendlies. That pick-and-choose proposal was turned down by Pochettino, who later said he understood Pulisic's request but that he was the head coach and 'not a mannequin.' Pochettino has quieted critics with three wins in the Gold Cup group stage against Haiti, Saudi Arabia and Trinidad and Tobago. His team will face Costa Rica on Saturday in the quarterfinals.

Semien's 10th-inning walk-off single lifts Rangers over Mariners
June 28 - Marcus Semien's bases-loaded single to right field in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Alejandro Osuna with the winning run as the Texas Rangers defeated the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Saturday afternoon in the second of a three-game series between the American League West rivals in Arlington, Texas. Semien's decisive single -- the sixth walk-off hit of his career -- came off Mariners closer Andres Munoz (3-1) after Munoz hit Josh Smith with a pitch and walked Corey Seager to load the bases. Semien worked the count to full and fouled off two 100-mph pitches before pushing his single past second base in Seattle's drawn-in infield. Shawn Armstrong (3-3) was the beneficiary of the Rangers' uprising after striking out two in a perfect 10th inning as Texas' fifth pitcher of the game. The teams have split the first two games of this series, with the Mariners winning 7-6 in 12 innings on Friday. Both teams managed just six hits each on Saturday. Neither of the game's starting pitchers -- Bryan Woo for Seattle nor Kumar Rocker for the Rangers -- received a decision in the game that was decided in the final innings. Woo, who allowed two runs (neither of them earned) on five hits over six innings, remains the only pitcher in the Major Leagues to have gone at least six frames in every one of his 16 starts this season. Rocker gave up two runs on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in his third start since being recalled from Triple A Round Rock on June 15. The Mariners struck first when Dominic Canzone ripped a solo home run to right field in the third inning. Texas responded and took the lead in the bottom of the frame as Seager's blasted a two-run homer off Woo, with both the runs unearned because of a throwing error by J.P. Crawford with two out that extended the inning. Seattle got back to even on Randy Arozarena's two-out single to center in the sixth that drove in Cal Raleigh, who had reached on a single. --Field Level Media
