Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Approved as Pro Fight (sort of)

Today Mike Tyson tweeted that his bout with Jake Paul will be a ‘real fight’.

I confirmed with the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulation that is has been sanctioned as a professional fight instead of an exhibition. They have, however, modified the rules. The Commission has replied as follows:

Hi Erik,

We opted to approve a professional bout with certain waivers:

  • Eight-round contest
  • Two-minute rounds
  • 14-ounce gloves

Please let me know if you have any questions.
