New York Bans Betting on Tyson vs. Paul Spectacle Amidst Hype

New York, along with six other states, has banned betting on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight due to its non-traditional rules, such as two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves, which deviate from the standard boxing regulations. The New York State Gaming Commission requires boxing matches to adhere to the Unified Rules, which include three-minute rounds and 10-ounce gloves, for them to be eligible for wagering. Despite high interest in the fight, some states view it more as an exhibition rather than a standard professional bout.
