The highly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson on July 20 in Texas will not feature headguards, dispelling rumors stirred by British heavyweight Derek Chisora.
While specific details regarding the fight’s format and regulations remain undisclosed, Paul‘s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, refuted Chisora‘s unfounded claims.
Unequivocally there is no headgear for Paul vs Tyson,” Bidarian wrote on Instagram.
“Haters spreading fake news but it won’t stop the 10’s of millions of views.”
Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. With a career marked by remarkable achievements, his clash with Paul marks another intriguing chapter.
