2min rounds helps Tyson. I guess we will see if he throws full powered uppercuts or not.

So no drug testing? Let them juice!

Tyson smoked before the Roy Jones fight, which mellowed him. They may be going that angle again so nobody dies.

No mention of drug testing?

Its an "exhibition"
Former world champion Mike Tyson says his boxing match against YouTuber Jake Paul on 20 July will be an exhibition bout and not an official fight.
Tyson, whose professional career ended in 2005, will turn 58 three weeks before facing Paul in Texas.
Paul, 27, beat Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight last month.
"This is called an exhibition, but if you look up 'exhibition' you will not see any of the rules will be fighting under. This is a fight," Tyson said.
The contest - which will not count to their professional records if it is an exhibition - will broadcast live on streaming platform Netflix.
It will take place at Arlington's AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, which has a seating capacity of 80,000.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), the body that approve boxing events in the state, told BBC Sport that while a request to hold an event on the day by the promoter had been received; no proposed fights or further details were given.
"Under TDLR rules, in an exhibition fight the combatants wear bigger gloves (16oz), have two-minute rounds and fight in fewer rounds than a sanctioned professional bout," the TDLR said.
"In an exhibition, there is a referee but no judges and no winner is declared."

Well no professional sanctioning body would approve a fight at this age disparity. Also probably means no drug testing.

Exactly. They were never going to get this sanctioned. They threw that around just to increase interest. Get people talking like it was going to be a real fight and not the joke it was clearly going to be.

Tearing Paul to pieces and then recreating the Ali-over-Liston shot has to be worth giving back his share of the money, right?

The only thing missing from this fight is a special appearance by Buster Douglas.
