Unusual Test Threatens Fight
Mike Tyson's highly anticipated showdown with Jake Paul is in jeopardy as an unusual test is written into the fight rules that could lead to the fight's cancellation.
Fight Details
The clash between Iron Mike and the YouTuber turned boxer is scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20.
Testing Requirements
Both fighters are aiming for the bout to be a professional contest, but the final decision lies with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TLDR). Tyson could face cancellation if he fails pre-fight tests, including EEG and EKG results.
Age and Health Concerns
According to the rules, fighters over 38 years old, like Tyson, must pass EEG and EKG tests to evaluate brain and heart health.
Potential Exhibition Fight
If Tyson passes the tests, the fight may still be classified as an exhibition, altering the rules to include larger gloves, shorter rounds, and no official judges.
Previous Experience
Tyson's last professional fight was in 2005, with his most recent exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 following different rules.
