The much-anticipated boxing match between Tyson and Paul finally took place on November 15 at the renowned AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. After eight rounds, it was the YouTuber turned-boxer who got the better of the 58-year-old via unanimous decision 80-72, 79-73, 79-73.

The blockbuster showdown was streamed by Netflix to its hundreds of millions of viewers and the event garnered viewers in huge numbers from all around the world. The demand was so huge that the servers crashed. This was also a huge opportunity for brands to show off their products.

During the bout, one of Paul's team members was seen wearing a Trump endorsing cap that took inspiration from his popular slogan 'Make America Great Again'. However, on top of the cap was the logo of the brand Nucleus Genomics, which is an all-in-one DNA test.

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian took to X (formerly Twitter) as he was impressed by Paul's team's creative way of capturing the attention of the audience and felt that Nucleus Genomics must have benefited from this placement a lot.

"Startups hacking attention in all kinds of creative ways. Earned media off this placement had to have been off the charts ROI for @nucleusgenomics," Serena Williams' husband wrote.

Nucleus Genomics founder and CEO Kian Sadeghi had earlier also announced that his company had partnered with J'Leon Love, Paul's trainer, and gave away two free tickets for the event.
