Teddy Atlas was Tyson\u2019s coach for a brief period under Cus D\u2019Amato before they went their separate ways. Tyson, now 57 years old will take on a 27-year-old Paul in what the Texas Boxing Commission has sanctioned as a professional fight. However, the unorthodox rules being followed have made Atlas wonder if the bout is even legitimate.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" data-gtm-vis-recent-on-screen10786002_19=\"14062\" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen10786002_19=\"14063\" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time10786002_19=\"100\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired10786002_19=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/05\/11f4f045-untitled-design.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Mike Tyson\u2019s Ex-Coach Questions \u2018Jake Paul Fight\u2019 Legitimacy as Professional Bout After Several Rules Altercation\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-2\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Mike Tyson\u2019s fight against Jake Paul will have eight 2-minute rounds, instead of the usual 3-minute. On top of it, both fighters have ditched the regulation 10 oz gloves for heavier 14 oz ones. Such changed rules are unheard of in professional matches, and this is exactly why Teddy Atlas questioned the legitimacy of the fight in his latest YouTube video, saying,<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ortiz KOs Dulorme | Canelo vs Munguia Preview | Paul vs Tyson Rules | Ramirez beats Barthelemy\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WX6eIZqBRF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-3\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><em>\u201cHow do you call it a professional fight if the rules you\u2019re using are not professional rules?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-4\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Well, despite what Teddy Atlas believes, the fight is shaping up to be a milestone event in combat sports and the outcome will reflect on both Tyson and Paul\u2019s professional records. In the meantime, American sports journalist and broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has also spoken up against the bout being considered a professional one.<\/p>\n<h2>Stephen A. Smith feels \u2018disgusted\u2019 by the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight being sanctioned as a pro fight<\/h2>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-5\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Stephen A. Smith has gone public with his views on the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight. In a recent broadcast on live TV, Smith spoke about the fight and criticized the pair for having it sanctioned as a professional fight, saying,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019m saddened by it.

He claimed that if Paul was genuinely serious, he would be fighting someone who is closer to his age and is actively training.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-9\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Instead, he believes Paul agreed to this fight just to make money and is not interested in growing as a boxer. Well, the one time Paul fought a reputable professional boxer in Tommy Fury, he lost. So, maybe the broadcaster does have a point about \u2018The Problem Child\u2019s\u2019 boxing career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"chapters-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Tyson\u2019s ex-coach is still unconvinced by the Jake Paul fight.
