Sign the contract, big boy, sign the contract.

Jake Paul has indeed signed the contract, as he and Mike Tyson have agreed to have it out in just over three months time.

Netflix will be streaming the controversial match-up, which will take place in the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

This will be Paul's second fight of 2024 following his win over professional boxer Ryan Bourland; meanwhile, the last time Tyson, 57, fought was in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr in 2020, scored as a draw.

Despite rubbing purists up the wrong way, Paul has his sights firmly 'set on becoming a world champion', and in order to prove himself, he must go against the man who many regard as the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time'

“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard," the 27-year-old said on X (Twitter).

"Within just two and a half years of founding MVP (Most Valuable Promotions), we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world – a testament to all we’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time."

Ahead of the bout, however, we are yet to be aware of the fight rules and people are speculating whether it will be an exhibition or a professionally sanctioned match.

There were even rumours on social media that the rounds would be two minutes instead of three, and 16oz gloves would be used, rather than 10oz.

Some even suggested that there would be no judges present to score the fight.

However, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, has taken to social media to address the 'fake' rumours.

Bidarian said: "Breaking news, there is no news. Stop spreading fake news. There's no truth to all this stuff around Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

"Here's what is true, one; Mike Tyson is in unbelievable shape and training like he hasn't in many, many years and is looking scary for Jake Paul.

"Two, there are no tickets for sale. If you bought tickets those are tickets that don't exist.

"Three, over 85,000 people have signed up to get access to tickets when they go on sale. This is going to be a historic event."

The Problem Child has a record of 9-1, with 6 KOs, while Iron Mike is at 50-6, with 44 KOs.

"I'm very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul," Tyson said.

"He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.

"Now I plan to finish him.”
