A "leaked" scrip claiming tonight's fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been fixed has got the whole of the internet talking.

The two fighters are set to battle against each other later tonight (November 15), at the mammoth AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in front of 80,000 fans, with the news being confirmed just months after Tyson was forced to pull out of their earlier fight after suffering an ulcer flare-up in May.

This occasion will also mark the veteran's return to professional boxing since announcing a hiatus all the way back in 2005.

However a "script" which has been shared on X allegedly confirmed the way it's all going to go down.

The document details five rounds of the fight, who will dominate each round, and then who will ultimately win the battle... and if you've got money on the YouTube sensation, then according to this post, you're going to be pleased about this one.

After a few rounds of going back and forth, with Tyson allegedly "coming alive" in round 2 before dropping off in round 4, Paul is set to "KO" the 58-year-old former champion.

Naturally, fans were left shocked upon seeing the details, with many clearly not impressed by the now-viral script.

"Tyson isn’t going to ruin his reputation by coming out of retirement for a fixed fight," wrote one user, while another added: "I doubt this is legit. I watched all ROCKY movies and he always won. I expect nothing less from Mike."

A third also commented on another detail in the script, writing: "To predict a cut on Mike's eye...movie must have special effects too... nice."

And this person was also less-than-impressed, adding: "Iron Mike won’t allow such nonsense."

Have a look below:


It just comes shortly after it was announced that the rules around the bout would be amended for the pair.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has officially sanctioned Friday night's fight as a professional heavyweight match but has also added several unique modifications compared to your standard fight.

Tyson and Paul will fight in eight, two-minute rounds rather than the standard 10-12 rounds at three minutes each.

There will also be a difference in the gloves worn. Both fighters will wear heavier 14-ounce gloves rather than the usual 10-ounce gloves in order to minimize the chances of a complete knock-out.

And if the final face-off was anything to go by, then we'll be expecting some pretty intense action later tonight.

Tyson vs Paul is available to watch on Netflix via subscription.
