Mike Tyson is being sued for allegedly breaching a commercial deal to fight Jake Paul.
Tyson fought Jake Paul last month at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in front of 70,000 fans, but lost by points in what was a disappointing affair.
The heavyweight blockbuster was broadcast live on Netflix as many fans were left disappointed considering 58-year-old Tyson landed just 18 punches the entire bout.
Medier is a Cyprus-registered company that promotes betting company Rabona, and they are suing the former heavyweight champion and his company Tyrannic for nearly $1.59 million (£1.25 million).
They have accused Tyson of allegedly breaking a deal to promote a gambling company in order to fight the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Paul.
The lawsuit has been filed at London’s High Court and says Tyson terminated the deal in March, which was the same day Paul vs Tyson was announced.
Tyson and his company Tyrannic are yet to file a defence to the lawsuit, with Tyson also yet to comment.
