A WWE Hall of Famer has shared his verdict on the recently conducted Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul.
Earlier last month, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ faced off against YouTuber turned-boxer Jake Paul for about. Streamed live on Netflix, it is arguably one of the most streamed fights of all time.
Resulting in a shocking victory, Paul picked up an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Tyson. However, Hall of Famer Mark Henry believes the boxing match to be scripted, at least 70-75% of it. Speaking on ‘What Were They Thinking? Backstage Pass‘, the former Champion, shared his thoughts on the bout.
That fight was probably, in my opinion, about a 70-75 percent work. And there’s a guy on the internet that pulled about seven clips of Mike Tyson pulling punches and Jake talking to him, saying, ‘Hey, back it down son.”

Despite being critical of the fight and claiming it to be scripted, Henry later heaped praises on the two men and expressed his enthusiasm to watch the fight if it happened ever again.
