The highly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has arrived, with the two set to square off on November 15. 

As fans eagerly await the outcome, rumors of a controversial clause in the fight contract have sparked intense debate, with some suggesting it may limit Tyson’s ability to go for a knockout.

Former boxing champion Carl Froch added fuel to the fire, claiming, “Allegedly, there’s a clause in there that says [Tyson] can’t go for it.” This potential restriction would drastically alter the 58-year-old Tyson’s gameplan.

Known for his knockout power, Tyson expressed frustration, stating, “I don’t see how he’s gonna make it an exciting fight by running all day.” UFC commentator Joe Rogan echoed this, emphasizing that Tyson’s strength remains his biggest advantage. “He can still knock your f**king head into another dimension if he can catch you,” Rogan said.

Adding to the tension, Tyson slapped Paul during their weigh-in, an act that Jake’s brother Logan called a “grave error.” 

Meanwhile, Paul’s confidence remains unshaken. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has bet his entire $40 million purse on himself, raising the stakes for what promises to be an unforgettable clash. As speculation about the clause looms, all eyes are on the ring for what could be a defining moment in both fighters’ careers.
