Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: Controversy Erupts as Promotions Company Denies Fight Fixing Allegations | Boxing Match Update

Jake Paul’s promotions company has dismissed the rumors of his win against Mike Tyson being rigged as “incorrect and baseless”.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer secured a victory over the former undisputed world heavyweight champion in a controversial bout on November 15th. The fight ended with a score of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Jake Paul.

Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, in partnership with Netflix for the most-streamed global sporting event to date, stated that all regulations were followed for the match sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR).

“Both fighters performed to the best of their abilities with the goal of winning the fight,” MVP’s statement said. “There were absolutely no restrictions placed on either fighter, and any suggestion of a fixed match would violate TDLR boxing rules.”

However, the fight faced criticism from figures in the sport, including Oscar de la Hoya, who raised doubts about its authenticity on social media, stating, “Everybody is talking about how staged this fight was.

“I believe it was scripted and Tyson was held back. Jake Paul paid for the win to be on his record! For what? For your satisfaction?” De la Hoya questioned. “If you want to be a real fighter, fight real fighters.”

Paul himself added to the speculation during a post-match press conference when asked about his performance in round three.
