Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions has refuted claims that the YouTuber-turned-boxer's fight with Mike Tyson was rigged, blasting the "illogical" allegations.
The Problem Child defeated The Baddest Man on the Planet by unanimous decision in a low-wattage encounter at AT&T Stadium to extend his professional record to 11-1.

However, the event was criticised by multiple pundits, fighters and other promoters, with some going as far to claim that the event in Dallas, Texas was fixed to suit both fighters.
MVP, led by Paul and business partner Nakisa Bidarian, has now shut down claims the bout was a staged affair, railing against the claims that have circulated since.
"Both fighters in good faith performed to the best of their abilities with the goal of winning the fight," read an official statement.
"There were absolutely no restrictions, contractual or otherwise, around either fighter. Each boxer was able to use his full arsenal to win the fight.
"Any agreement to the contrary would violate TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations) boxing rules.
"It is further illogical and inane that MVP [...] would even so much as consider such a perverse violation of the rules of competition."
Paul's next opponent is yet to be confirmed, with challenges from IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and undisputed light-heavyweight Artur Beterbiev offered to him.
