Jake Paul Promotion Denies Tyson Fight Rigging Claims

Following Jake Paul's victory over Mike Tyson in a boxing match on November 15, 2024, at AT&T Stadium, there have been widespread allegations that the fight was rigged. These claims suggest that Tyson, 58, was contractually obliged to let Paul win, leading to skepticism about the match's legitimacy. In response, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), Paul's promotion company, has vehemently denied these accusations, labeling them as 'incorrect and baseless.' MVP emphasized that both fighters were free to perform to their fullest potential and that any manipulation of the fight would constitute a federal crime. The statement highlighted that the fight was sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, ensuring no contractual limitations on either boxer. MVP also criticized the rumors as an insult to the fighters' dedication and the sport itself, asserting that such claims undermine their partnership with Netflix, which streamed the event live.
