The highly-anticipated Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight might be over with The Problem Child reigning supreme over the legendary Iron Mike by unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Saturday, November 16 (IST), but it has taken a new turn with several claiming it to be a scripted fight. A purported script has emerged on social media, claiming that the fight was scripted, thus spraking a new wave among the fans and followers.
In the leaked script which has been making rounds on social media, Jake Paul was predicted to be the winner over the 58-year-old Mike Tyson. However, nothing is concrete on this at the moment as earlier in 2023 before Jake Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury, a similar script went viral.
The leaked document highlights a dramatic narrative, ending with Paul registering victory against his rival. As per the document, the opening round showcases Tyson “flashing glimpses of his old form,” and landing a few solid jabs, while Paul maintains a distance and displays his 'superior mobility'. In round two, Tyson 'lands a thunderous left hook to Paul's body and draws a collective gasp from the crowd', followed by Paul getting prompted to 'pepper Tyson with long jabs'. By the third round, the viral 'script' highlights Paul's growing advantage, emphasising how he starts to dominate with his jabs.
Here's a look at the leaked script:
