Michael Page, a mixed martial artist, has expressed his disapproval of the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The rules for the fight have been set, with two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves for the eight-round heavyweight bout. The outcome of the fight will count towards both fighters’ records, with Tyson boasting a record of 50-6 and Paul with a record of 9-1.
The proposed rules were set by the promoter, Holden Boxing LLC, and were approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The fight is scheduled to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The shorter two-minute rounds and heavier gloves are expected to favor Tyson and Paul respectively, bringing a sense of compromise to the match.
Both fighters’ camps agreed to the proposed terms, which were submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for approval. Despite some speculation about whether the fight would be an exhibition or a professional bout, the primary concern for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is the safety of the contestants in the ring.
Michael “Venom” Page shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight, expressing concern about Tyson facing off against Paul. He believes that Tyson’s experience as a boxer will give him an advantage over Paul’s skills as a YouTuber turned boxer. Page also expressed his disappointment that this unique match-up will not be broadcast by ESPN or HBO but instead on Netflix.
