Special rules for the special night!
The age difference between the two fighters has forced the organisers to implement certain rules keeping in mind the security concerns of the fighters. However, these rules will be implemented for this standalone fight only. Both Tyson and Paul will be mandated to use 14-ounce gloves instead of the regular 10-ounce gloves used by heavyweight pugilists.
Using the 14-ounce gloves will help lower down the powerful punches. However, it will also affect the agility of the fighters who will have to fight with a heavy glove. Although it won’t be a problem for Jake, Tyson, aged 58 might face issues with agility given his age. Additionally, there will be a total of eight rounds instead of 12 and each round will be only two minutes long not three.
