Mike Tyson’s Fight Against Jake Paul in Texas Sanctioned as Competitive Boxing Match

In a surprising turn of events, Mike Tyson’s upcoming fight against Jake Paul in Texas this summer has been officially sanctioned as a competitive boxing match rather than an exhibition. The decision comes as a shock to many fans who were expecting a more laid-back showcase between the two fighters.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation recently approved the terms for the highly anticipated bout, which is set to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. This means that the fight will have a referee and judges, and the results will count towards the fighters’ professional records. In other words, this will be a real, competitive fight.

One of the major changes to the fight is the shorter rounds and heavier gloves. The bout is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, as opposed to the standard three-minute rounds in most men’s professional fights. Additionally, the fighters will be wearing 14-ounce gloves instead of the usual 10-ounce gloves, which will reduce the power of their punches.

Jake Paul, a social media star-turned-boxer, has quickly risen to fame in the boxing world with a record of nine wins and one loss, including six knockouts. On the other hand, Mike Tyson, a former undisputed world heavyweight champion, retired in 2005 with an impressive record of 50 wins, 44 by knockout.

With Netflix set to provide live coverage of the event, fans can expect an exciting and competitive match between these two fighters. Stay tuned for more updates on what is sure to be a thrilling showdown in the ring.
