The full list of controversial rules for the Mike Tyson - Jake Paul fight is published

Netflix has released the full list of controversial rules for the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which will take place in the early hours of Saturday (November 16).

It's finally happening, 'Iron Mike' will step into the ring to face Jake 'The Problem Child' Paul in one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year.

The bout was rescheduled after Tyson, 58, suffered a health scare earlier this year while on board a flight to Los Angeles.

If Tyson passes the final two medicals, here's everything you need to know about the rules.

The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with streaming rights held by Netflix.

The matchup between Paul and Tyson will look a little different than a standard boxing match, due to several conditions.

Each round will last for two minutes, which is less than the standard three minutes you usually see in professional boxing. In addition, the pair will only fight for eight rounds, instead of the usual 12.

The other difference will be the gloves, with both boxers using heavier 400 gram gloves instead of the 300 gram ones. A heavier glove means that more of the shock will be absorbed by the padding of the glove, rather than the punch and the point of contact of the opposing fighter.

Neither Tyson nor Paul will be wearing head coverings during the bout and it will be the three standard judges in the ring who will score each round (unless a knockout occurs).

These rules are adopted by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. /Telegraph/
