A fake script for the highly anticipated Friday night fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has gone viral, stirring excitement among boxing fans.
The fabricated document, shared by X user @gregorxsamsa, began circulating online just hours before the showdown in Arlington, Texas. The user claimed the script was a genuine leak, posting, “Ain’t no way bro. The script got leaked! #PaulVsTyson Jake Paul gonna knock out Mike Tyson!”
According to the alleged script, Tyson would dominate early in the fight, only to face a comeback from Paul. It detailed how Paul would cause a cut above the 58-year-old boxing icon’s left eye before delivering a decisive knockout in the fifth round.
Despite its rapid spread, it soon became clear that the so-called leak was entirely fictional. Fans were quick to point out the absurdity of the claim, emphasizing that professional boxing, especially at this level, is far from scripted entertainment.
The viral post, while untrue, added to the pre-fight buzz, sparking debates and building anticipation for the real clash between the two fighters.
