NEW DELHI: Ahead of Jake Paul’s blockbuster boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson, a leaked fake script surfaced online, igniting speculation and excitement among fans.

The fabricated document detailed a supposed Round 5 knockout victory for Paul, mimicking a similar hoax that circulated before Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury.

Despite the buzz, there was no evidence to suggest the match was fixed.

Instead, fans were treated to a legitimate showdown at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, where Paul claimed a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.

The highly anticipated bout, delayed from its original July 20 date due to Tyson’s health issues, marked the 58-year-old former champion’s return to professional boxing after 19 years.

Tyson entered the ring to deafening cheers from the crowd, while Paul, greeted with boos, relied on strategy and stamina to outlast the heavyweight icon.

Tyson showed glimpses of his old brilliance early on, controlling the first two rounds with sharp, aggressive punches that forced Paul into defensive positions.

The opening round saw Tyson land clean blows in the corner, while the second round mirrored his dominance as he capitalized on Paul’s low guard.

However, by the third round, Paul began to find his rhythm. A triple jab rocked Tyson, pushing him to the ropes and signalling a shift in momentum. By Round 4, Tyson’s fatigue became evident, and Paul exploited the opportunity, landing precise body shots and controlling the pace.

Heading into the final rounds with a slim 48-47 lead, Paul maintained his composure. Despite the crowd’s chants urging Tyson to mount a comeback, the 27-year-old boxer continued to dictate terms, ultimately securing a unanimous decision. Judges scored the bout 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in Paul’s favour.

Viral script for Mike Tyson bout blasted as fake in latest Jake Paul saga after alleged Tyson Fury leak

A fake script for Friday night’s bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul went viral on social media, sending boxing fans into a frenzy one year after Paul was involved in another controversy for a fake script — according to The Daily Star — ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury.

Paul encountered a similar saga in February 2023 ahead of his fight with Fury, when former UFC fighter Mike Perry posted what appeared to resemble a script on social media detailing how the bout would unfold before promoters told The Sun that the document was fake — and before Fury ended up defeating Paul by split decision, which wasn’t included in the alleged script.

It reportedly wasn’t the first time that Paul faced allegations of scripted fights, either, as that reportedly also happened prior to his fight against Anderson Silva, The Daily Star reported.

On Friday, the phony letter, posted by an X user with just over 200 followers, made the rounds in the hours before the slated 11 p.m. fight in Arlington, Texas.

“Ain’t no way bro,” @gregorxsamsa, who’s post of the alleged script got hundreds of reposts, wrote. “The script got leaked! #PaulVsTyson Jake Paul gonna knock out Mike Tyson!”

The script claimed Tyson gets off to a strong start through two rounds before Paul starts to bounce back, eventually opening a cut above “Iron Mike’s” left eye.

In the fifth round, Paul allegedly knocks out the 58-year-old Tyson, securing the victory.

A ridiculous and criminal notion, fighting fans were quick to call out the script as bogus, including one who described it as a “ChatGPT script.”

“Tyson isn’t going to ruin his reputation by coming out of retirement for a fixed fight,” an X user named Paul Jones wrote.
