In a dramatic lead-up to the highly anticipated rematch night where Canelo Alvarez “knocked out” Terence Crawford in the second round after only two minutes, Jake Paul has accused boxing legend Mike Tyson of foul play during their private match. According to Paul, Tyson resorted to dirty tricks, including kicking him in a sensitive area to gain an unfair advantage.

The private match, held as a precursor to the main event, has generated significant buzz, adding to the excitement of the evening that saw Canelo Alvarez take home a staggering $300 million. Jake Paul, who has been gaining notoriety in the boxing world, expressed his frustration after the fight. “Mike kicked me in a dangerous place,” Paul stated during an interview. “I respect his legacy, but what happened was not okay. There’s no room for that in the ring.”

Mike Tyson, known for his ferocity and controversial career, has denied the accusations. “I didn’t kick him,” Tyson said firmly. “I’ve been in this sport long enough to know the rules and respect them. Jake’s a tough guy, but sometimes things get heated in a fight. That’s all it was.”

The allegations have caused a stir in the boxing community. Fans of both fighters have taken to social media, with some defending Paul and calling for a formal review of the match, while others believe that Paul might be exaggerating to cover up a poor performance against the seasoned Tyson.

As of now, there is no official investigation into the incident, but the controversy has certainly added fuel to the ongoing rivalry between traditional boxers and new-age fighters like Jake Paul. This incident highlights the unpredictable and often dramatic nature of boxing, where every fight can bring unexpected twists and turns.

Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez’s swift and decisive victory over Terence Crawford has set the stage for what promises to be a lucrative and exciting period in boxing, with Alvarez’s $300 million win marking a new high in the sport’s financial stakes.
