When news of this match was first announced, many celebrated, hoping it would be a chance to see the former YouTube star clean the clock. Facing perhaps the most dangerous fighter in boxing history, the result couldn't have been better.

Mike Tyson claims Jake Paul fight is real
Pre-boxing banter always includes abuse and threats, but ahead of the July 20th bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, there will be an element of rationalization mixed in with the usual chatter. I feel like it's happening. In fact, many have called it a travesty because the rules of the fight seem to be noticeably protective of Paul. Interestingly, Tyson currently insists that although the fight is not considered an official fight, there will be no restrictions as usual as it is an exhibition match.
The fighting legend said earlier this week that while he believes Paul will win, he takes Paul seriously. “This is called an exhibition, but when you look up the exhibition, you don't find any laws that we're fighting. This is a fight. I don't think he's faster than me. I once saw a YouTube video of a 16-year-old doing some weird dance moves. That's not the guy I'm fighting. This guy will come and try to hurt me, I'm used to that. He will make a big mistake. ”
So what can we expect from Tyson vs. Paul?
That's a good question. What we do know so far is that Netflix plans to live stream the event from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Aside from that and Mike Tyson's $20 million salary, not much else is known, including how much Jake Paul himself plans to make. It is worth noting that According to reports, Organizers of the fight have not provided any details to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, so there may be a lack of information.
This brings us back to the central question: will this be a real battle? Now, let's take Paul's match with his brother as an example. logan and now retired floyd mayweather For example, the answer is probably a resounding “no.” Back in 2021, the older Paul faced Mayweather in an eight-round exhibition, which ended in a no-finish and no winner was announced, but it was said that Mayweather appeared to be in control of the bout. I have no choice but to. I can honestly say that the only thing lost that day was the money paid by people who didn't watch the game. As you can imagine, there are many people who are worried that a travesty like this will happen again, but interestingly, Tyson insists that it won't happen.
“Right now I'm scared to death,” Tyson said, before adding: “But as I get closer to the fight, I'm less nervous because this is real and I'm actually invincible.” he is beautiful ” If you say so, Mike. As for Paul, he's peppered with jokes and insults about his opponents, including references to his infamous ear-biting moment with Evander Holyfield and even a photo with a tiger. , has been promoting the fight in a typical manner.He is in his fifth year of aiming to become a full-fledged boxer. Paul has divided the boxing world, with the majority of fans and fighters considering him just a freak. At the same time, some, including Tyson, praised the way he reignited interest in a sport that has sometimes struggled to reinvent itself. Either way, we have to go back to what Tyson calls “reality,” which is that this fight is going to happen and Jake Paul is going to lose.
