Fight is on Saturday July 20th 2024.

The heavyweight showdown will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds with
each fighter using 14-ounce gloves, but no head gear.

Knockouts are of course allowed as it is a pro contest and the outcome will affect their professional boxing records.

Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian was delighted
as he confirmed the rules for Paul vs Tyson in an official press release.

“Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so
in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome,” he said.

"Over the past six weeks, MVP has worked with its partners to satisfy the requirements
of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR)
to sanction Paul Vs Tyson and we are grateful that we have gotten to this point.

It's going to be a farce.
But an entertaining one.

But Tyson is too old -

he could get killed.

Yes. Most boxers are now aware in how to deal with his style of boxing. Lennox Lewis worked it out the best. Tyson is a 'swarmer' as they call the style.
All you need to do with a Swarmer is to have a really good 'Jab' technique and 'back foot' defence.
I don't know if Big Blondie Jake has that ability or wether he'll try to trade blows toe-to-toe with wee-Tyson? Tyson might give him a good few uppercuts if that's the case.
Tyson is a massive pot-head too. I doubt he'll be lucky to go the distance.

I don't think Tyson can win this if it goes the full rounds.
I do think he can win it if he gets him in the first few rounds with a KO. But that's always been Tyson's trademark.

But let's face it. It's just a hyped up 'novelty' fight for 'Da Monayyyy'.

It's a serious professional fight that will appear on both fighters records.

Great fight. Unbeaten and never knocked down/out - the much younger Munguia of Mexico trying to steal the 4 Belts off Mexican 'Ranga' legend Canelo Alvarez, but failing and being knocked down by a much stronger true Champion.
Ranga's - Trump in USA, Alvarez in Mexico.

Rowdy Rhonda Rousey.
What an ego!
