Jake Paul and his team weren’t made aware of the severity of Mike Tyson’s health issues prior to their fight, according to his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian.

“Rigging a professional boxing match is a federal crime” in the U.S. “Paul vs. Tyson was a professional match sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR). Both fighters, in good faith, performed to the best of their abilities with the goal of winning the fight,” the MVP statement said.

Few events have generated as much buzz and controversy as the recent heavyweight boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
