Mike Tyson Sued for $1.6 Million Over Alleged Breach of Promotion Deal

The lawsuit claims Tyson prioritized a Netflix-sponsored fight with Jake Paul over a prior agreement with a gambling company.

Cyprus-based gambling company Medier filed a lawsuit in London, alleging Mike Tyson breached a January promotional deal with their online casino, Rabona.
The lawsuit, filed in October, seeks $1.59 million in damages, claiming Tyson terminated the deal in March on the same day his fight with Jake Paul was announced.
Medier argues Tyson ended the agreement unlawfully to pursue a Netflix-sponsored fight, while Tyson's representatives claim Medier violated the contract first.
The fight with Jake Paul, held in November and streamed on Netflix, saw Paul win by unanimous decision in a lackluster bout that drew questions about its authenticity.
Tyson reportedly received a $20 million payout for the fight, and a Saudi Royal has since offered $700 million for a knockout rematch under stricter conditions.
