Backup fighter Mike Perry uploaded a photo to his Twitter page alleging it to be the “script” of the fight between Paul and Fury.
Despite Perry’s baseless online accusation, representatives for the promoters in Saudi Arabia confirmed to SunSport that the allegations are completely false.
They said: “We can confirm, it’s fake.”
Furthermore, Troop Boxing Promotions does not even exist, according to Google.
According to the document: “Paul lands huge right hand that sends Fury crashing to the canvas…
“The ringside doctor rushes in to check on Fury, but he waves him away.
“Tommy shall then act out an eye injury that forces the referee to call off the fight, declaring Jake Paul the winner by TKO.”
The so-called script suggests “The Problem Child” will walk out in a baby outfit mocking his opponent while Fury will dedicate his costume to his wife (Molly Mae) and new-born child.

Fury will take control of the fight in rounds one and two before Paul turns it around in round three, with Fury having problems with his eye from rounds four onwards.
After the bout, the pair will continue to fight before Paul calls out British Entertainer KSI, which will then be followed by Fury asking for a rematch, which will be accepted.
And fans online believe this so-called “script” to be a load of nonsense as well.
One user said: “Mike this is low… just stop 😂”
A second user posted: “1. Troop Boxing Promotions doesn’t exist let alone is involved with this fight. 2. How do you script an eye literally swelling shut. 3. ‘Rematch in LA’. Tommy can’t enter the US 🤦‍♂️.”
A third wrote: “This script is scripted.”
A fourth slammed: “😂😂😂 Someone needs some attention on social media.”
While a fifth added: “It’s someone trying to manipulate betting markets… fake as.”
