Tyson vs Paul finally happened on Friday (November 15), but some people are convinced the bout was rigged and have highlighted 'clues'.

The boxing world had long awaited the face off between former heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson versus YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul.

It finally happened on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with the fight being streamed on Netflix.

But despite the massive hype behind the fight, it left many pretty underwhelmed and disappointed.

58-year-old Tyson ended up losing to 27-year-old Paul via judges’ unanimous decision, after the pair went for 8 2-minute rounds.

While many were expecting to Tyson to drop Paul, it is important to remember the man is 58 years old... even during the bout, the commentator could be heard saying that 'father time remains unbeaten', in reference to Tyson not looking the same as his younger self.

Despite that, many people have insisted that fight was staged or rigged to allow Paul to win over the boxing legend.

Some have even pointed to key moments during the fight as signals from Paul to Tyson.

One moment shows Tyson land a right hand shot to Paul’s chin only for the celebrity boxer to stumble back and stick out his tongue at Tyson.

Some online have taken this to be the moment Paul asks Tyson to ‘take it easy’ and reel himself back in.

"Jake Paul signaling for Mike to take it easy,” one person on Twitter commented while sharing a clip.

Another added: "bro could have knocked tf outta jake but he held it back."

Others have questioned this moment and instead insisted Paul was simply mocking Tyson and suggesting the punch had no power.

One person added: "He’s literally signaling that the weak punch did not affect him. This is commonly known as a 'taunt'."

Another added: "Yall are tripping or huffing copium if yall really think mike was going easy on him."

As well as this moment, other viewers have pointed to the moment when Tyson lands a firm left-handed jab that forces Paul back into a stumble.

One person on Twitter commented: "Tyson Had to take his foot off the gas after he caught Jake with that jab."

Commented another: "Mike landed this jab and then immediately thought of the 20M and held back."

With another adding: "Ridiculous event, one Tyson jab sent him stumbling round the ring, even at 58 if Tyson caught him fully, he’d have folded like a deck chair. Obviously scripted to ensure nobody got hurt and that Mike got his $20m."
