What are the rules for the upcoming Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?
When the fight was initially announced in March and scheduled for July, there were concerns regarding Mike Tyson's age which led to questions about whether this would be an exhibition bout and what the rules of the fight would be.
Initially Tyson insisted the fight would be an exhibition fight with rules that resemble that of a real professional fight and rumours suggested that the pair could wear headguards and fight with 10-ounce gloves.
However, the former undisputed champions cleared things up in April when announcing it would be sanctioned as a pro fight and contribute to his official record of 56 fights.
It was also announced that the bout would be contested over eight two-minute rounds as opposed to the normal three-minute rounds and the fighters would use 14-ounce gloves without headgear.
Since the fight has been rescheduled have the rules changed and what are they?
