Whoever chose the picture below did Paul dirty.

[edit]

Remove the title of "Professional Boxer" from Jake Paul's introduction. Jake Paul is not a participant in professional boxing organizations, and his events have been primarily classified as exhibition events. A more appropriate title would be "Social Media Influencer". 142.126.67.98 (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Archives of Talk:Jake Paul have discussed this extensively in the past, and I doubt the status will change. NotAGenious (talk) 18:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He beat 2 professional boxers, so therefore he is a professional boxer as of December 2023. 2A00:23C6:D584:5B01:748D:3CC9:F980:85C2 (talk) 10:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Approve the change to social media influencer. Beating a professional or two is simply not how that works. Being part of an organisation and ranked, rather than simply exhibition fights, makes you a professional. 2.25.161.216 (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jake Paul is ranked 122 out of 1229 worldwide in the cruiserweight division on BoxRec, so I disagree that he isn't a real professional boxer by now, especially when he has stated his intention to become a world champion (while also pursuing these big fights that obviously don't get him closer to that goal). He started his professional boxing career in 2020 by fighting a YouTuber, a basketball player, and then MMA fighters, but he has also fought 3 professional boxers (lost to 1, won against 2), so evetually people have to accept that he is a professional boxer at this point. 2A00:23C6:D584:5B01:3C5D:DFC6:7846:450D (talk) 13:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Exhibition Boxing Match

[edit]

Mike Tyson has confirmed that it's an exhibition boxing match in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3xInUaRVhY&pp=ygUXbWlrZSB0eXNvbiB2cyBqYWtlIHBhdWw%3D

Short description should be updated. 2A00:23C6:D584:5B01:748D:3CC9:F980:85C2 (talk) 10:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For completeness, I'm adding here that I just edited the article to reflect that the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations announced today they approved it as a professional bout, rather than an exhibition bout. [1] Darlingm (talk) 16:10, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, even though Mike Tyson initially said it was an exhibition, Jake Paul was public about wanting it to be professional, and MVP made it happen. Short description should be updated to "professional" and Introduction should include "heavyweight". 2A00:23C6:D584:5B01:A880:A935:49B6:8CEF (talk) 20:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this on wikipedia?

[edit]

This event has no value apart from Internet noteriety unless something spectacular happens to make this event significant then this is just advertising material for the promoters 86.132.75.149 (talk) 09:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are both notable enough boxers on their own to have multiple Wikipedia pages for their biggest fights, so them having a boxing match is worthy of having a Wikipedia page (especially when it is the first boxing event to be hosted on Netflix). Also, Katie Taylor vs Amannda Serrano 2 is the co-main event, and their first boxing match had a Wikipedia page. 2A00:23C6:D584:5B01:3C5D:DFC6:7846:450D (talk) 12:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For proper grammar, this line : "On April 10, Paul confirmed that they will be submitting a request to the Texas Combative Sports Program for the bout to sanctioned as a professional bout.[8]"

Should include, "be", such that it reads, "... for the bout to be sanctioned as a professional bout.[8]" CasualLurker (talk) 21:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About the fight

Grammar correction

[edit]

In the first section: "Originally, the bout was scheduled to take place on July 20, but was postponed due to Tyson suffering a ulcer flare up aboard a plane."

It should be "an ulcer" and not "a ulcer". TheFrail (talk) 12:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So far, Jake Paul has fought 10 fights before the fight with Tyson and won by 7 knockouts. But now it has been incorrectly written that he fought 9 fights and won by 6 knockouts. MatrixMP4 (talk) 21:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Tyson is a Muslim as he stated in one of his interviews he isn’t orthodox. 2A00:23C5:248E:501:7CC0:9BCA:F8E0:458 (talk) 15:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The bout will consist of eight two-minute rounds with 14-ounce (400 g) gloves." makes it seem as if it is past tense but the fight is already finished

At one point in the fight, Paul punched Tyson in the face

[edit]

Should be reflected on the page somewhere. Feel strongly about this. Hyperbolick (talk) 08:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, Tyson punched Paul in the neck. Was a very important moment. Hyperbolick (talk) 18:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rigged/scripted/fixed?

[edit]

Right now, the only sources on this claim seem to be from social media accounts and the usual rags, but RS may cover this supposed claim eventually, even if only as a claim. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 14:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Part of me believes that this was scripted to further boost the Pauls egos and to promote Lunchly, Prime, and Feastables. However, Tyson is over 58 years old and had a list of health issues prior to the fight. If the social media accounts posting that the fight was allegedly scripted are trustworthy, they could possibly be added a source. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 20:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's the thing, I don't believe this script is a thing that's real at all. However, there might be other things in play that we just don't know, and that would be original research to add to the article. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 06:26, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edelgardvonhresvelg @LilianaUwU it seems that the age difference should be mentioned in the first paragraph, it is not obvious. Papuass (talk) 21:41, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weight

[edit]

Surely they can't be different wrights in lbs and the same in kgs: 227.2 lb (103.06 kg) 228.4 lb (103.6 kg). See infobox Sushidude21! (talk) 22:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

.54 kg is 1.2 lbs. Nswix (talk) 23:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So Jake Paul should be 103.05 then. Sushidude21! (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
