A purported “script” claiming to reveal the outcome of tonight’s highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight has been making waves online. Similar to the leaked document that emerged before Paul’s clash with Tommy Fury, this one outlines a dramatic, blow-by-blow narrative, ending with Paul landing a decisive knockout in the fifth round. While the legitimacy of the script is dubious, it has certainly stirred up excitement, especially with Netflix airing the full fight card.
According to the document, the opening round showcases Tyson “flashing glimpses of his old form,” landing a few solid jabs, while Paul demonstrates “superior mobility,” thanks to his youth. In Round 2, Tyson reportedly delivers a sharp left hook to Paul’s body, only for Paul to counter it with steady jabs, proving his endurance. By the third round, the narrative shifts as Tyson attempts to unleash a signature combination, but Paul evades most of it. The script stresses on Paul’s growing advantage, noting how “the speed difference becomes more apparent” as he starts to dominate with his jab.
The supposed “climax” comes in the fifth round, where Paul unleashes a precise three-punch combination that forces Tyson onto the ropes. A powerful right hand then seals the deal, knocking the boxing legend down. Despite Tyson’s best efforts, the script claims he doesn’t beat the count, awarding Paul a sensational victory.
While clearly questionable, the leak has only amplified the hype surrounding this electrifying match-up.
See the script here:
The bizarre script was leaked hours before the match. The post, shared by X user @gregorxsamsa—who has just over 200 followers—quickly gained traction, amassing hundreds of reposts. Along with the script, the user wrote, “Ain’t no way bro. The script got leaked! #PaulVsTyson Jake Paul gonna knock out Mike Tyson!”
Fans weren’t buying it. Many immediately dismissed the so-called script as fake, with one calling it a “ChatGPT script”. Another C user said, “Iron Mike won’t allow such nonsense,” while a different user wrote, “Never read so much rubbish. Whoever wrote this is good at telling stories though… career change maybe?” One particularly baffled commenter asked, “Who spends there time writing these?”
The highly anticipated fight, initially planned for the summer, had to be postponed due to Tyson’s health concerns. With seven bouts lined up on the card, the event promises an action-packed evening. Massive bets are pouring in, with many speculating that Tyson, now 58, might find it tough to keep up with the younger and fresher Paul. This matchup has everyone buzzing, making it one of the most exciting events of the year.
