The battle appears to be one of the most-viewed boxing matches of the year because it will also be available on Netflix.
However, Tyson will be 58 years old and Paul will be 27 when the battle takes place. In addition, the social media celebrity entered the ring far more recently than the former heavyweight champion.
People are therefore eager to learn about the fight’s regulations and how closely they will resemble those of a professional match.
In a recent interview with Fox News, Tyson affirmed that the fight is an exhibition and that it has not been authorized as a professional fight.He did, however, reassure the audience that this would not lessen the event’s intensity.
This is a war, he said to the channel, but if you look up the exhibition, you will not see any of the rules that we are fighting under.
He’s not faster than me, in my opinion. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him dancing strangely at the age of 16, but that’s not the person I’m going to fight.Furthermore, he acknowledged that he is currently afraid of fighting Paul.
This man is coming; he’s going to try to hurt me, which I’m used to, and he’s going to be incredibly mistaken. He went on.I’m terrified as hell right now, but as the fight draws nearer, I grow less anxious because it’s genuine and I can win in real life.
However, some didn’t seem to be swayed by Tyson’s remarks; one user wrote, Nope, this is just a sparring session, Mike.If he has to sell to the public, ‘it’s a real fight,’ guess what?, another person remarked. There won’t actually be a fight.
Some believed Tyson’s remarks implied he was treating the fight seriously, despite the fact it was only a demonstration, and they questioned whether Paul was aware of what he was getting into.
Jake should’ve known Mike Tyson doesn’t f**k about when he has a fight planned, a commenter commented. He most likely assumed Mike wouldn’t be serious, but he trains everyone the same way, whether they are heavyweight champions or YouTubers.
