Michael Irvin claims manipulation in Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight outcome

Michael Irvin has claimed that the recent fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was manipulated. He suggested that a contract prevented Tyson from using his signature uppercut, leading to a lackluster performance in their bout, which Paul won by unanimous decision. Irvin expressed disbelief that Tyson did not attempt his famous uppercut, stating it undermined the integrity of the fight. DJ Whoo Kid also mentioned that both fighters were restricted from going all out during the match, which saw Tyson land only 18 punches compared to Paul's 78. Tyson, who faced health issues before the fight, reflected positively on the experience despite the loss. He noted that he had nearly died earlier this year but felt grateful to have fought and completed eight rounds against a younger opponent.
