MVP Promotions on Monday announced that the boxing match between Mike Tyson (50-6) and Jake Paul (9-1) will be a pro boxing match and not an exhibition.

The fight will be an 8-round fight and will have 2-minute rounds.

“Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome,” MVP’s Nakisa Bidarian said in a press release.

“MVP has championed fighter choice since its inception, including advocating for women’s boxing to be contested with 2- or 3-minute rounds based on the particular fight matchup. Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 will both be contested with 2-minute rounds and each megafight will have its winner.”
