The highly anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, set to take place in Arlington, Texas, on July 20 and broadcast live on Netflix, has sparked discussions regarding its classification as either an exhibition or a professional bout. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has yet to make a decision, as they have not received a fight card from the promoter. Despite the ongoing speculation, Tyson maintains his focus on defeating Paul, asserting that he will fight under any rules and remains confident in his abilities regardless of the fight’s classification. Tyson has expressed his belief that Paul is not faster than him and that the fight will be a true challenge, despite Paul’s YouTube videos showcasing his athleticism. Ultimately, the decision of whether the Tyson vs. Paul fight will be an exhibition or a professional contest rests with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
