A fake script detailing the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been circulating on social media. Tonight, 58 year old Tyson will go head-to-head with YouTuber Paul in a heavyweight showdown at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Despite initially being considered the underdog, Tyson's odds have shortened this week, particularly after he slapped Paul during their face-off last night. Both fighters have promised to knock each other out, and the script, which is similar to the counterfeit one circulated before Paul's bout with Tommy Fury last year, outlines each round up to the fifth when Paul allegedly stops a tired Tyson and ultimately has his hand raised.

However, there is no suggestion that the fight is fixed. Here's how the script predicts the fight will play out...

Round 1: The opening bell rings and Tyson, showing flashes of his former skill, immediately moves forward with his signature bob-and-weave style.

Paul maintains his distance, cautiously moving around the ring. Tyson lands a few jabs but Paul's youth is evident in his superior agility.

Paul lands a quick one-two combination before retreating. Tyson's timing seems slightly off, his punches marginally slower than in his prime.

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

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

Round 3 sees Paul growing more confident, beginning to plant his feet firmly. He lands a sharp right cross that momentarily stuns Tyson.

The former champion retaliates with a classic combination, but most of it 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. In Round 4, Tyson starts to show signs of fatigue, though his punches still pack a devastating punch.

Paul finds his rhythm, landing increasingly clean shots. A particularly sharp right hand opens 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 proves to be the pivotal round. Paul, noticing Tyson's exhaustion, starts to push forward more assertively.

He delivers a sharp three-punch combo that 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 beat the ten count.

Winner: Jake Paul by KO, Round 5.
