Jake Paul allegedly told famous DJ the Mike Tyson fight on Netflix was rigged

What if the fight we all watched on Friday night on Netflix didn’t include the former heavyweight champion of the world truly trying to win?
Well, that’s what Jake Paul, 27, and Mike Tyson, 58, are being accused of following a conversation between Paul and famous DJ Whoo Kid, which took place the day after Paul defeated Tyson by decision, following eight two-minute rounds at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“Saturday, Jake Paul came and I talked to him,” DJ Whoo Kid said on TikTok. “This is the problem. This is what happened. Legally, they each cannot go at each other hard because if Mike hits Jake Paul, like really hit him. … He still has it. If Mike Tyson hit Jake Paul, Jake Paul would die. If he went all in. If Jake Paul would hit Mike Tyson I think because of Mike Tyson’s age, he would kill Mike Tyson. So the rules were that they’ve got to chill. That’s what I heard. They both had to chill. … You can tell when (Tyson) goes one-two and then he stops because he would kill him. It would be over.”
Although Whoo Kid says he spoke to Paul on Saturday, it’s unclear how much of this Paul said and how much is the DJ filling in blanks, but it alludes to some level of foul play.
Tyson, who reportedly made $20 million on the fight while Paul made $40 million, looked nothing like the ferocious heavyweight that he appeared in training clips released prior to the fight — Tyson struggled with his footwork, timing, balance, and ability to close the distance. However, the youngest fighter to become heavyweight champion overcame a slew of physical ailments to even make the fight, which was pushed back from July 20 to Nov. 15 when Tyson fell ill on an airplane in May.
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson wrote on Twitter on Saturday following the fight. “I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had eight blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25 lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
“To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
