The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul just got more interesting, as the Texas Commission has approved a rule change requested by Tyson. The fight, set to take place on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium, will now feature eight two-minute rounds instead of the standard three-minute rounds.
Tyson’s Rule Change Approved
In an unprecedented move, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations has agreed to modify the rules for the Tyson-Paul fight. The change, requested by Tyson, shortens each round to two minutes, allowing for a faster-paced and potentially more explosive bout.
A Unique Challenge for Both Fighters
With this rule change, both Tyson and Paul will need to adjust their strategies. The shorter rounds may favor Tyson, who is known for his quick and powerful punches, while Paul will have less time to recover if he’s caught off guard. This adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already fascinating matchup.
Undercard Bouts and Title Fights
The Tyson-Paul fight isn’t the only attraction on November 15th. The event will feature several undercard bouts, including a 10-round lightweight title rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, and Julio César Chávez Jr. going up against Darren Till in a cruiserweight bout.
