Will Paul vs. Tyson Fight be Sanctioned?

Blogger and boxer Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) has stated that he and former undisputed champion Mike Tyson want their fight to be an official professional match, not an exhibition.

Paul mentioned that they plan to submit a request to the Texas commission to try to make this happen.

If the fight is sanctioned as a professional one, its result will be counted in the boxers' official records.

The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is scheduled for July 20th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be streamed on Netflix.
