Jake Paul suggested a major rule change for his much-anticipated fight with Mike Tyson during Sunday afternoon’s press conference in New York.
Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion, will go head-to-head with the YouTube personality at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday, November 15.
The event will be streamed exclusively on Netflix from the 80,000-seat capacity area – home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
In terms of previous bouts, Paul extended his professional record to 9-1 with a first-round victory over Ryan Bourland in March, while Tyson’s last bout was a six-round exhibition against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
Since the initial announcement was made, it has been confirmed that the fight will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds with each fighter using 14-ounce gloves.
Tyson is believed to have requested two-minute rounds to the board as he believes shorter rounds will command more in-ring action. “If we have shorter rounds, we’ll fight more,” he said.
But during the press conference in New York City, Tyson was asked by Paul if he wanted to change the rules so the fight would be contested over 10, three-minute rounds.
“Don’t talk to me about shape,” Paul said. “You want 10 three’s? See that’s the thing. Everyone is all talk. I’ll do whatever.”
Tyson refused to agree to the proposed rule change, but he did say “be careful” before repeating: “He should be very careful.”
The details surrounding Tyson vs Paul continue to be of interest and back in May, former four-time world super-middleweight champion Carl Froch made a bold claim.
The 45-year-old says Mike Tyson will be paid less if he KO’s his opponent.
“From what I’m hearing with the contracts, allegedly, he gets paid less if he wins in round one, Tyson, or if he gets a knockout he gets paid even less,” he told Safebettingsites. “There’s restrictions in his contract based on how he wins.”
Froch added: “I don’t know if it’s been confirmed, but I’ve read somewhere that there’s a clause in his contract that means he’s going to earn less money if he goes out there and destroys Jake Paul.”
As you can see from the footage above, Paul appeared to confirm he would take home $40 million from the bout.
“I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend,” he said. “I don’t give a f*** about anything else. He’s the one who wanted to make a professional fight. He’s going to get his ass knocked out on a real record.
“You’re going to see on BoxRec. Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: KO.”
