Jake Paul has caused a stir among boxing fans, after he opted to share the "official rules" for his upcoming clash against Mike Tyson on social media.
This Friday, Paul and Tyson are set to meet inside the ring at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The pair will headline the pay-per-view, which will also be livestreamed on Netflix, marking the platform's first ever live combat sports event.
Ahead of their highly anticipated clash, many fans had been wondering if a different rule set would be adopted for the bout. While it has been confirmed it is a professional contest that will go on their records, there had been questions as to whether or not any rules would be adapted to accommodate Tyson, who is 58 years old.
'The Problem Child' has since opted to play up to the narrative surrounding the rule set, and recently took to X to reveal what he labeled as the "official rules." He wrote:
"Official rules for #PaulTyson. Someone is getting knocked the f*ck out. The end."
Fans have since been reacting to the post, with one fan going as far as to say they believe the result is fixed if Paul is victorious:
"If u win it’s fixed 100%"
Another added:
"If you win, it’s all rigged"
A user said:
"Someone’s about to get knocked out harder than my Wi-Fi signal after a storm!"
One fan added:
"Translation: Nobody is getting knocked out"
A user wrote:
"Bro stop fighting old people why don’t you fight actual young boxers"
