What is the difference in this Tyson vs Paul match?
Approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, the match will consist of eight two-minute rounds instead of the usual three-minute rounds.
Both boxers will also wear 14-ounce gloves, heavier than the standard gloves.
What happened during the weigh-in?
Reuters reported that there was no love lost between the two as Tyson, who weighed in at 228.4 pounds, approached Paul and immediately slapped the 27-year-old in the face and offered a two-word televised remark before walking off stage: “Talking’s over.”
Paul, who gained a cult following on YouTube before turning to boxing four years ago, was far more loquacious, offering an expletive-riddled rant about his plans to demolish Tyson, who has a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts.
The fight is the first live boxing match that Netflix has aired, as the streamer with more than 280 million subscribers makes inroads into the sports arena.
The match has drawn extraordinary global interest but also criticism, with British promoter Eddie Hearn dismissing the bout as “dangerous, irresponsible and disrespectful to boxing.”
