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

Mike Tyson’s upcoming fight against Jake Paul in Texas this summer has been approved as a competitive boxing match, rather than an exhibition. The rounds will be shorter and the gloves will be heavier, making for an intriguing showdown between the 27-year-old social media star-turned-boxer and the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has given the green light for the July 20 fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. This will be a professional bout with a referee and judges, and the results will count towards the fighters’ professional records. The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, with the boxer’s gloves weighing 14 ounces instead of the standard 10 ounces to reduce the power of punches.

Netflix will be providing live coverage of the highly anticipated match, which is sure to draw in fans from all over the world. Jake Paul has made a name for himself in the boxing world over the past four years, winning nine out of 10 fights with six knockouts. Mike Tyson, on the other hand, was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987-90 and retired with an impressive record of 50 wins, 44 by knockout.

This clash of generations is set to be a must-watch event for boxing fans everywhere. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting matchup.
