‘Leaked script’ revealing Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul boxing bout winner ahead of match leaves fans fuming

ARLINGTON, TEXAS: An alleged leaked script of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's boxing fight has been circulating online, leaving fans fuming in anger as it discloses the winner’s name before the match.

The authenticity of the script, similar to the fake one that was shared in 2023 before the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight, is certainly doubtful since it clearly mentioned Paul as the winner over 58-year-old Tyson. It stated, “Winner: Jake Paul by KO, Round 5.” The match went into eight rounds and not five. 

The match between the two happened on Friday, November 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas after being sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The main fight was followed by a Super Lightweight fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

The Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight 'script'

The alleged leaked script of the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul made the rounds before their slated fight in Arlington, Texas. 

An X user, while sharing the script, tweeted, “Did Paul just confirm this script leak in that last interview? Tyson will be aggressive. He'll tire. I will knock him out in round 5. Please say this isn't pre-determined.”

The script gave details about all the five rounds of the fight.

About the first round, the script stated, "The old champion bulls forward, trying to close distance, but Paul's footwork keeps him just out of range. The tide is turning," per The Mirror.

The script claimed about the second round, "The younger fighter's stamina becomes evident as he bounces on his toes, while Tyson's breathing grows heavier."

Calling the fifth round "decisive", the script added, "Paul, sensing Tyson's fatigue, begins to press forward more aggressively. He lands a crisp three-punch combination that backs Tyson to the ropes. As Tyson tries to weave away, Paul times him perfectly with a devastating right hand that catches his flush on the chin."

The script ends with Tyson failing to beat the ten-count, securing Paul’s victory.

Following his actual victory in the fight, the 27-year-old YouTuber said, as per The Guardian, “He’s exactly what I thought,” referring to Tyson.

“One of the greatest to ever do it. He’s an icon. He’s a legend,” he asserted.

“But this night’s not about me, man. I wanted to give a thanks to all the real heroes, the US military, the doctors, the nurses in the ER, the cops, the firefighters, the farmers, the truck drivers, all the people who make this world go right. Thank you, America,” Paul added.

Internet reacts to 'leaked script' of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight

Many people have reacted online after the alleged leaked script of the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul went viral. 

Fans of the sport, however, knew this was a fake script and many called it out as well on social media. 

One X user commented, “We all know the script was leaked today, we all knew Mike Tyson was going to lose. He took the 20 million to Jake's 40 just to participate. He is just standing there, un happy, not actually fighting. Poor Mike, he just doesn't want to be there.”

Another said, “Jake Paul just said at 7:10 PM that he’s gonna knock out Tyson in 4 or 5 rounds.”

Another posted, “LEAK: the script says, ‘Mike is not allowed to throw more than 5 punches a round’. Another Jake Paul rigged fight #TysonPaul.”

“Supposedly this is the leaked script for the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul pillow fight,” a tweet read.

However, the more serious fans were quick to call out the script as bogus, including one who described it as a “ChatGPT script".

"The people thinking this is real," laughed one social media user. 

“Chat gpt, write me a script for a fight with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, with Jake Paul winning in the 5th round," said another.

“Tyson isn’t going to ruin his reputation by coming out of retirement for a fixed fight,” a comment read.

Another user said: "Never read so much rubbish. Whoever wrote this is good as telling stories though… career change maybe?"
