Jake Paul’s promotional company has issued a furious response to ‘incorrect and baseless’ claims that his recent win over Mike Tyson was rigged.
In a statement on Monday, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions outfit said: ‘Rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime in the United States of America. Paul vs. Tyson was a professional match sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR).
‘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. Any agreement to the contrary would violate TDLR boxing rules.’
