Mike Tyson, the famous boxer, is facing a lawsuit because he is accused of breaking a contract with a gambling company to fight YouTube star Jake Paul. The lawsuit says Tyson’s company, Tyrannic, went against an agreement made earlier this year.
A big news story claims that a Saudi Arabian royal named Turki Alalshikh offered Tyson a staggering $700 million if he can knock out Jake Paul in just three minutes. Alalshikh said, “Jake Paul is a joke. I’ll pay Tyson $700 million if he fights Jake for real and wins by knockout fast.”
Last month, Jake Paul beat Tyson in a fight that many thought was boring and possibly staged. Tyson might get a chance to fight for real and make up for it because of this huge offer.
The gambling company, called Medier, is upset because they say Tyson’s deal with Netflix to fight Paul has cost them around $1.59 million. They believe Tyson broke their agreement when he took the Netflix fight instead.
Tyson’s team said in a statement that Medier broke the rules of their deal first, so Tyson’s company was right to end the agreement to protect Tyson’s reputation.
