Truth revealed as Mike Tyson and Jake Paul ‘leaked script’ goes viral ahead of boxing fight
A viral script claiming to reveal the outcome of Mike Tyson’s upcoming fight with Jake Paul has been circulating on social media, though there is nothing to substantiate the claims.
The alleged script details a round-by-round breakdown of the highly anticipated heavyweight clash, which is set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
The document bears a striking resemblance to a similar fake script that made rounds before Paul’s previous bout with Tommy Fury last year, which the American lost.
At 58 years old, boxing legend Tyson is preparing to face the YouTube star-turned-boxer in what has become one of the most talked-about fights of the year.
Despite starting as the underdog, Tyson is still fancied by many given what he achieved throughout his prime years – having clocked up 55 victories, including 44 knockouts, before retiring in 2005.
There was tension 24 hours ago when Tyson slapped Paul at the weigh-in, with the boxing icon left furious after his rival appeared to stand on his toes.
Both competitors have since made bold predictions, with each vowing to knock the other out.

The tension between the fighters has only added to the intrigue surrounding their upcoming clash, which is set to be watched by millions around the world.
The emergence of the supposed fight script has further fuelled speculation about how the bout might unfold.
However, there is nothing to suggest the bout is rigged – especially given how Paul’s own business manager has admitted his fighter would face prison if it was.
The consequences of any fight-fixing would be severe, with legal ramifications for all involved. Here’s how the ‘fake’ script says the fight will unfold…

What the ‘leaked script’ says about the fight
According to the script, the first round sees Tyson displaying his signature bob-and-weave style, whilst Paul maintains distance and lands a quick combination.
Round two allegedly features Tyson landing a powerful left hook, though Paul’s reach advantage proves crucial.
The script claims Paul grows in confidence during round three, landing a stunning right cross as Tyson’s movement slows.
By round four, Tyson reportedly shows fatigue, with Paul opening a cut above his eye.
The script culminates in round five with Paul delivering a decisive three-punch combination, followed by a perfectly timed right hand that sends Tyson to the canvas for a knockout victory.

Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian, speaking to ESPN, has shut down claims the boxing fight will be rigged, however.
“These are pro fights that consumers are making legal bets on,” he said.
“I don’t think the critic who says these are not real fights thinks about [how] there would be jail time if we actually did this type of stuff.
“We have never, and we will never, do anything that’s other than above board and 100 per cent a pro fight unless we come out clearly and say, ‘Hey, this is an exhibition fight that is a show.'”
