Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight winner revealed in ‘leaked script’ with exact knockout round
Doctor raised alarms about Tyson’s health ahead of the match, highlighting risks of brain damage if he sustained injuries during training.
A leaked ‘script’ detailing the outcome of tonight’s highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight is circulating on the internet as the match kicks off this evening. The fake script, which resembles one that circulated ahead of Paul’s bout with Tommy Fury last year, reveals a dramatic play-by-play, with Paul landing a knockout blow in round five. While the authenticity of the script is highly questionable, it has certainly added buzz to Netflix’s coverage of the full fight card at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 15.
The highly anticipated showdown between “Iron Mike” Tyson and Jake “The Problem Child” Paul kicked off at AT&T Stadium in Texas, with over 70,000 spectators in attendance and $17.8 million in ticket sales revenue, according to the reports. Ahead of the match, a fake script surfaced, allegedly revealing how Tyson, at 58 years old, would face off against the YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
The script detailed round 1 with Tyson, showing flashes of his old form, “lands a few jabs but Paul’s youth shows in his superior mobility.” Round 2 sees “Tyson come alive with a powerful left hook to Paul’s body, but Paul counters with jabs, showing better stamina and movement.” By Round 3, “The former champion responds with a vintage combination, but Paul slips most of it. The speed difference becomes more apparent as Paul begins finding his range with his jab.”
The script’s final reveal, though, comes in Round 5, when Paul delivers a decisive three-punch combination that forces Tyson back against the ropes. A powerful right hand follows, knocking Tyson down, and despite his best efforts, he fails to beat the ten-count, giving Paul the victory.
