A fake fight script of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson doing the rounds on social media has claimed that there will be a knockout victory.
Many Jake Paul fights have had ‘leaked scripts’ which are certifiably false, most infamously for his bout with Tommy Fury.
The former YouTuber will face a 58-year-old Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Texas tonight, with many backing Paul to emerge victorious.
There has been tension in the build-up to the bout, with Tyson slapping the 27-year-old around the face at the weigh-in after Paul stood on his foot.
Both men have vowed to knock their opponent out, despite claims that there had been a no knockout clause inserted for Tyson, and although fake, this supposed script has revealed that one will be true to their word.
Jake Paul predicted to earn KO win against Mike Tyson
According to the script, it’s the ‘problem child’ who will take home the glory tonight.
Round one will reportedly see ‘Iron’ Mike come out of the blocks but struggle to cope with Paul’s mobility, missing with many of his shots before his opponent hits back with a neat one-two combination.
The second round is a repeat of the first although this time, Tyson lands a left hook to the body of Paul, who recovers well. By the end of the round, the 58-year-old is clearly looking fatigued whereas the younger of the two is still feeling fresh.
It’s at this point where the tide begins to turn in the fight as Paul looks the more confident of the two. Finding his range, he is able to land a sharp right. Tyson tries to respond with a combination of his own but can’t land as Paul slips and avoids.
Tyson tries to recover in round but Paul continues to maintain his distance, landing more and more successful punches.
We then reach the fifth round, where this fake document alleges that the fight will come to an end. As Paul smells blood he lands a three-punch combination that has his opponent backed into the ropes.
He then unleashes a flush right-hand shot that catches ‘Iron’ Mike on the chin, causing his legs to buckle and fall to the canvas. Despite his efforts, Tyson fails to beat the count and Paul takes the victory.
Could Jake Paul become a ranked fighter if he beats Mike Tyson?
As the fight is classed as a professional contest, the result will go on the records of both fighters.
Whilst a victory for Tyson will be a warning to Paul to not mess with one of the greatest heavyweights of all time again, a win could elevate his career to the next level.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has even claimed that the 27-year-old could even be in line to receive a ranked spot within their organization.
“He’s getting there,” Sulaiman told OLBG. “I believe he is 10-1 and in his last fight he looked dominant, but he needs to increase the level of competition and stay active.
“I believe he is ready to be entered in the rankings of the cruiserweight division. He is a real fighter but there is one more test to take place and it’s a ratings committee that determines the rankings.
“It is not me or a small group, it is a big group from all over the world and they have a ratings criteria. What I see is, Jake Paul is on the way to entering the big leagues in boxing.”
