Boxing fans are convinced Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was 'rigged' after spotting a moment during their professional heavyweight fight.

Paul scored a unanimous decision victory over Tyson in the main-event of the Netflix event.

After the result, people on social media were all in agreement as they made their feelings clear.

Fight fans also pinpointed the exact moment where they thought the bout was 'rigged'.

In the opening round, Tyson backed up Paul against the ropes with a huge left hand but failed to jump on him.




Fans believe Tyson let Paul off the hook, suggesting the bout was 'rigged'.

One X user wrote: "Right here is where Mike said, “Whoops, I gotta stop or I won’t get paid. #rigged"

A second said: "The Moment we knew it was rigged! I do believe the first 1 minute of the fight was legit and then they switched it to Off."

A third added: "Can’t believe I wasted my time expecting this fight not to be rigged but glad Mike Tyson got paid."

A fourth joked: "He forgot about the contract for a second."

Another commented: "The fight was rigged. Have you not seen his training videos? bahahaha."

It's not the first time Paul has been subjected to 'rig' claims in his career but there has been no proof or evidence to suggest his fights are a work.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani in the ring after his latest win, the 27-year-old said: "First and foremost, Mike Tyson... he’s a legend, he’s the greatest to ever do it. This man is an icon. It’s just an honor to be able to fight him.

"He’s an icon. He’s a legend. I love him. I love his family. It’s just an honor to be in the ring with all of them. I was trying to hurt him a little bit. I did my best."

Tyson added: "Absolutely happy [with the fight]. I knew he was a good fighter. I knew he was prepared. I came to fight. I didn’t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself. I’m just happy what I can do. He’s a very good fighter. Absolutely [he deserves respect]."
