Outlandish Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul ‘fight script is LEAKED’ ahead of Netflix showdown and predicts a KNOCKOUT – but fans react with disbelief

A fake script for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s fight in Texas is making the rounds on social media, leaving some fans baffled.

Tyson and Paul clash in the early hours of Saturday morning at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, with many fans tuning in to watch the unique showdown via Netflix.

The small sliver of 31 years that separates the former undisputed world heavyweight champion, 58, and the 27-year-old YouTube celebrity turned boxer, in a fight that will have boxing purists scrambling for it.

Mail Sport must draw attention to the suspicious nature of the document, shared by an anonymous account with 204 followers. Not only does it claim to be writing a script on how the crowd will react at certain moments – implying that everyone should join in – but it also claims that a gash will open above Tyson’s eye at the signal in the fourth round.

Still, it provoked a strong reaction from boxing nuts and, if only for entertainment value, is summarized below.

The ‘script’, shared by an anonymous account, claims that one of the fighters will be knocked out in the fifth round

An anonymous account with 204 followers shared the questionable sequence of events

According to the script, Tyson gets off to a strong start but is let down by his lack of stamina.

As the 58-year-old lands a number of powerful blows, Paul ‘weathers the storm’ and begins to gain the upper hand in the third round, dodging most of his opponents’ punches.

A cut above Iron Mike’s left eye opens in the fourth round and goes out in the fifth as a “devastating” right-hander to the chin sends him sprawling to the canvas, where he is counted out.

Voila – according to this false script, Tyson, one of the most successful fighters in history, has agreed to plan his own demise at the hands of a YouTuber.

His advocates were in an uproar in the comments section. Tyson was defeated only six times in 58 fights.

“Iron Mike won’t allow such nonsense,” one wrote.

“Tyson isn’t going to ruin his reputation by retiring from a set fight,” said another.

“Does Mike know about this,” one joked.

Most fans in the comments rejected the idea of ​​Tyson losing outright

However, some thought he would pick up a scripted fight to boost his bank balance

“Everyone knows Tyson doesn’t play by the rules,” someone commented.

‘Total BS. Tyson becomes Iron Mike as the bell rings. This is deeply ingrained in Tyson’s DNA and cannot be manipulated or redefined. Tyson wins by KO,” said another.

However, some people felt that Tyson agreed to a scripted fight for a pretty penny. He is set to walk away from the fight with almost £16million and that could double depending on how the fight goes.

‘Family is more important to him than ego at this time in his life. And that kind of money for his generations is huge. His podcast definitely doesn’t make that much money,” one user said.

“He doesn’t care about his legacy,” wrote another, echoing Tyson’s words to a young interviewer before the fight.
