Jake Paul’s team release an official statement addressing ‘fictitious claims’
‘The Problem Child’ went on to pick up the unanimous decision win after dominating the 58-year-old over the entire eight-round fight.
However, as with several of Paul’s previous professional boxing fights, a large portion of the sport’s fanbase has accused the 27-year-old and his team of ‘rigging’ his fight against ‘Iron Mike’.
Fans have been highlighting a specific sequence from the controversial fight, claiming that Tyson pulled his punch instead of landing it flush on the chin of the internet sensation-turned-boxer.
With that, Most Valuable Promotions have released an official statement in the form of a press release, responding to ‘fictitious claims’.
“Following the wide circulation of incorrect and baseless claims that undermine the integrity of the Paul vs Tyson event, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) would like to set the record straight regarding the contractual agreements and the nature of the fight,” the press release began.
“Both fighters in good faith performed to the best of their abilities with the goal of winning the fight. There were absolutely no restrictions – contractual or otherwise – around either fighter. Each boxer was able to use his full arsenal to win the fight.
Trash talk and speculation are common in sports, and athletes and promoters need to tolerate nonsensical commentary, jokes, and opinions,” the press release continued.
