Paul has denials about the fake nature of the fight with Tyson

"Paul vs. Tyson was a professional match sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Both fighters performed in good faith to the best of their ability with the goal of winning the fight. There were absolutely no restrictions, contractual or otherwise, for either contestant. Each boxer was free to use his entire arsenal to win the fight. Any agreement to the contrary would have violated the rules set forth by TDLR."
