Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are going to be wearing some pretty large gloves for their upcoming fight.
Last month, the Texas State Athletic Commission announced they were sanctioning Tyson-Paul as an official pro fight but with some minor tweaks to keep the fighters safe, considering the massive 30-year age difference.
According to ESPN, the fight will be contested over eight, 2-minute rounds, with each fighter using 14-ounce gloves, much larger than the standard 10-ounce gloves.
Earlier this week, Tyson and Paul met the media for their press conference in New York.
After the presser, Tyson and Paul took photos in their ring gear, and fans noticed how big Tyson’s gloves looked.
