Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: Was the fight fixed? Leaked script reveals reality

NEW DELHI: Ahead of Jake Paul’s blockbuster boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson, a leaked fake script surfaced online, igniting speculation and excitement among fans.
The fabricated document detailed a supposed Round 5 knockout victory for Paul, mimicking a similar hoax that circulated before Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury.
Despite the buzz, there was no evidence to suggest the match was fixed.

Instead, fans were treated to a legitimate showdown at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, where Paul claimed a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.
The highly anticipated bout, delayed from its original July 20 date due to Tyson’s health issues, marked the 58-year-old former champion’s return to professional boxing after 19 years.
Tyson entered the ring to deafening cheers from the crowd, while Paul, greeted with boos, relied on strategy and stamina to outlast the heavyweight icon.

Tyson showed glimpses of his old brilliance early on, controlling the first two rounds with sharp, aggressive punches that forced Paul into defensive positions.
The opening round saw Tyson land clean blows in the corner, while the second round mirrored his dominance as he capitalized on Paul’s low guard.
However, by the third round, Paul began to find his rhythm. A triple jab rocked Tyson, pushing him to the ropes and signalling a shift in momentum. By Round 4, Tyson’s fatigue became evident, and Paul exploited the opportunity, landing precise body shots and controlling the pace.
Heading into the final rounds with a slim 48-47 lead, Paul maintained his composure. Despite the crowd’s chants urging Tyson to mount a comeback, the 27-year-old boxer continued to dictate terms, ultimately securing a unanimous decision. Judges scored the bout 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in Paul’s favour.
