Alleged Jake Paul-Mike Tyson script goes viral blasted as fake before Netflix bout
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.
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 claims 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.
“They can stage a fight but they can’t script in a cut opening above Tyson’s eye,” another skeptical poster wrote.
