Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson 'leaked fight script' shows the round knockout will happen

A counterfeit 'script' detailing the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is making rounds on social media. Tonight, at the age of 58, Tyson will face off against YouTuber Paul in a heavyweight boxing clash at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Despite starting as the underdog, Tyson's odds have been reduced by the bookmakers in the build-up, after he slapped Paul during their face-off last night.

Both fighters have vowed to knock each other out, and the aforementioned script - which has resemblance to the fake one circulated before Paul's fight with Tommy Fury last year - outlines each round up to when Paul supposedly stops a fatigued Tyson and ultimately has his hand raised - as per reports from The Mirror.

There's actually no implication that the fight is rigged. Here's how the fake script predicts the fight will unfold;

Round 1: The opening bell rings and Tyson, displaying glimpses of his former prowess, immediately advances with his signature bob-and-weave style.

Paul keeps his distance, cautiously circling the ring. Tyson lands with a few jabs, but Paul's youth is evident in his superior agility. Paul lands a swift one-two combination before then backing off. Tyson's timing seems slightly off, his punches a tad slower than in his heyday.

Round 2: Tyson springs into action, effectively cutting off the ring. He lands a powerful left hook to Paul's body that elicits a collective gasp from the spectators.

Despite the onslaught, Paul withstands the pressure, utilising his reach advantage to pepper Tyson with extended jabs. The younger fighter's stamina becomes clear as he maintains his bounce, while Tyson's breathing intensifies.

Round 3: Paul's confidence grows as he begins to plant his feet more firmly. He also lands a sharp right cross that momentarily stuns Tyson.

The former champion retaliates with a classic combination, but most of that is evaded by Paul. The speed disparity becomes more noticeable as Paul starts to find his range with his jab. Tyson's renowned head movement begins to slow.

Round 4: Tyson starts to show signs of fatigue, although his punches still pack a devastating punch. Paul finds his rhythm, landing increasingly clean shots.

A particularly sharp right hand results in a cut above Tyson's left eye. The veteran champion charges forward, attempting to close the distance, but Paul's footwork keeps him just out of reach. The momentum is shifting...

Round 5: The pivotal round. Paul, noticing Tyson's exhaustion, starts to advance more assertively. He delivers a sharp three-punch combo which forces Tyson back against the ropes. As Tyson attempts to dodge, Paul lands a powerful right hand perfectly timed, hitting him square on the chin.

Tyson's legs give way and he falls to the canvas. The referee starts the count, but despite Tyson's fighting spirit, he can't get up in time.

Fight winner: Jake Paul by KO, Round 5.
