Jake Paul-Mike Tyson script, explained: Debunking viral post claiming to spoil outcome of blockbuster fight

Is there a script for the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson? The internet seems to think so. 

Netflix is bringing one of the biggest sporting events of 2024 to its platform. The 27-year-old, YouTuber-turned-boxer is going up against a 58-year-old pound-for-pound legend, with the pair squaring off at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium. 

In very 2024 fashion, a post on social media has the internet buzzing about the outcome of the Paul vs. Tyson fight. Even though neither fighter has been introduced yet, there are certain fans convinced they already know the outcome.

Here's what the supposed script writers have in store for Paul-Tyson.

Jake Paul-Mike Tyson script, explained

A user on X, formerly Twitter, posted about an alleged "script" for the fight between Tyson and Paul. There was no source for the information, but it was split into four parts.

Ultimately, according to the author of the story, the pair will split the first rounds, with Tyson showing flashes of his prime. But fatigue begins to set in by the third round, and by the fifth, Paul knocks out the boxing legend, securing a win over one of the biggest names in boxing.

A community note on the platform states that the claim is false, with every website denying the story. As crazy as the idea of a 27-year-old fighting a 58-year-old in a sanctioned boxing event, there is nothing scripted about it.

Paul enters the fight with a 10-1 record, including a knockout victory over former UFC fighter and current Bare Knuckle boxer Mike Perry. Meanwhile, Tyson is 50-6 in professional boxing, though he hasn't fought since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
