Yet Paul's manager, Nikasa Bidarian, has now slammed 'fake news' on social media.
He said: "Breaking news, there is no news.
"Stop spreading fake news, there’s no truth regarding Jake Paul-Mike Tyson.
"Here’s what is true, 1. Mike Tyson is in unbelievable shape and training like he hasn’t in many, many years and is looking scary for Jake Paul. 2. There are no tickets for sale. 3. Over 85,000 people have signed up to get access to tickets when they go on sale, this is going to be a historic event”
It is unclear if the fight will be a professional or exhibition bout.
Paul and Tyson both want it to be a professional one.
Given the huge 30-year age gap between the two fighters, however, it's unclear if the pair will get their way.
Boxing fans have responded to Bidarian's comments, with many taking aim at the two men for agreeing to fight in the first place.
"Breaking news! Jake is fighting a 60 yr old and we’re trying to sell that it’s a fair fight!" said one user.
A second said: "Stop with all that “Mike tyson is in unbelievable shape' the dude is almost 60 @jakepaul you really a clown for this fight this wont get you no title shot."
And a third said: "He's tryna gas it up."
While many have been critical of Tyson's decision to fight Paul, however, Tyson Fury isn't part of that club.
The Gypsy King is currently preparing for his own big battle, with the Briton poised to go up against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
And Fury, when asked about Tyson and Paul's showdown, insisted it was 'fantastic' for the sport.
He said earlier this month: "I think it's fantastic for boxing.
