There has been recent speculation surrounding the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, with claims made by heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora that have since been refuted. Chisora alleged that both fighters would be wearing protective headgear and larger gloves than usual, leading to doubts about the legitimacy of the bout.
However, Nakisa Bidarian, a business partner of Paul's with Most Valuable Promotions, clarified that there would be no headgear worn during the fight, dismissing the rumors as fake news. The fight is scheduled to be streamed on Netflix on July 20, with Tyson, at 58 years old, facing off against Paul in what is expected to draw a significant audience.
The event will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, known for its 80,000-seat capacity and as the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Paul, who typically competes at cruiserweight level, will be stepping up to the heavyweight division for this fight. He aims to reach a weight of 220lbs by the time of the bout, a substantial increase from his previous fight at 100lbs on March 2.
The fight between Paul and Tyson has generated significant interest and discussion, with fans eagerly anticipating the outcome of this unique matchup. As the date approaches, more details are expected to emerge regarding the rules and regulations that will govern the highly anticipated event.
