Mіke Tyѕon vѕ. Jаke Pаul fіght ruleѕ аre ѕet. They juѕt саn’t аgree on who рroрoѕed them.

No one took responsibility for the two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves that will be used for the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight when those modified rules were announced Monday.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul disagree on who proposed fight rules

Now Paul is pinning it on Tyson.

“Yep, all his rules,’’ Paul said on his weekly podcast published Thursday. “I agreed to all his rules.’’

Not true, according to Tyson’s publicist, Joann Mignano, who said the rules proposed to Tyson for the heavyweight bout set for July 20 were two-minute rounds for a scheduled eight rounds.

“However, Mike is happy with the two-minute rounds because it gives Jake less of an opportunity to run around,” Mignano told USA TODAY Sports. She did not say who proposed the rules to Tyson.

The boxing gloves originally set to be used were 16 ounces, according to Mignano, who said Tyson was happy to have them dropped to 14 ounces Mignano added that Tyson would have been happy to use 12-ounce or 10-ounce gloves and “it doesn’t make a difference to him.”

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which sanctioned the fight as a professional bout, referred questions to Holden Boxing, the promoter of the fight. Bryce Holden, the principal at Holden Boxing, did not respond to requests for comment USA TODAY Sports submitted by voicemail and text message.

Jake Paul is 9-1 in his boxing career.

The two-minute rounds instead of the traditional three-minute rounds are widely viewed as beneficial to Tyson. He will be 58 at the time of the fight, which likely will test Tyson’s stamina against the 27-year-old Paul.

The 14-ounce gloves rather than standard 10-ounce gloves are generally regarded as a benefit to Paul because the heavier gloves may soften Tyson’s powerful punches. But Paul disagrees.
