It’s been a month since the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight and we still don’t have a confirmed set of rules for the bout.
Over the weekend, several Twitter news pages ran a rumor that claimed to have revealed the rules for the fight.
According to Drama Alert, here’s what the rumored rules for the fight will look like.
• 16 oz gloves (Bigger than standard 10oz gloves)
• 2 minute rounds (Shorter than standard 3 minute rounds)
• No official judges
• No winner unless KO
• Each fighter must pass a EEG & EKG test
On Saturday morning, Paul’s manager Nikasa Bidarian uploaded a video to claim the rumored rules were fake news and that is still no update on the fight.
“Breaking news, there is no news. Stop spreading fake news, there’s no truth regarding Jake Paul-Mike Tyson. Here’s what is true, 1. Mike Tyson is in unbelievable shape and training like he hasn’t in many, many years and is looking scary for Jake Paul. 2. There are no tickets for sale. 3. Over 85,000 people have signed up to get access to tickets when they go on sale, this is going to be a historic event”
