Some viewers of the fight have claimed new footage of Paul getting his head out of the way of a slow and telegraphed right hand shows Tyson was going easy too, The Sun reports.

A 10-second clip from the middle of the third round was posted to social media which shows Tyson appearing to load up a thunderous right hook as Paul’s left glove dropped down, leaving his jaw exposed.

But instead of landing what could have been the killer blow, Tyson pulled his punch as Paul moved his head out of harms way.

The video has ignited fresh conspiracy theories that the two had come to an agreement ahead of the bout.

The upload to X, formerly Twitter, was simply captioned: “Proof that the fight was rigged, fake and Tyson was holding back throwing the fight for Money.”

One fan responding to the video said: “If it was real 스포츠토토사이트 Tyson would have destroyed him and been out of the ring in less than 2 minutes.”

Another said: “That may have been the KO shot that Tyson obviously pulled.”

One remarked: “Rigged as f**k.”

Another chimed in: “Pulling punches?!”

The fix allegations quickly came to the attention of Paul, who issued a scathing response on brother Logan’s Impaulsive podcast.

“People are like, ‘Oh it’s rigged because look at him on the pads,” he said.

“‘He didn’t do this in the fight.’

“Because someone is f***ing punching back, you dumb f**ks.

“You don’t realise my power, my jab, my speed and my ability and footwork to get out of the way of those punches.

“So then all of a sudden, he’s literally throwing at air – he can’t land those punches on me.”
