Jake Paul's boxing match against Mike Tyson will be the real deal -- the two sides just announced their upcoming fight is a sanctioned professional bout.

Paul's Most Valuable Promotions shared the news on Monday ... saying the big event will count on their official career records.

El rapero de "Gucci Gang" sabe de primera mano de lo que es capaz la ex estrella de Disney, de 27 años. Después de todo, recibió un golpe en el hígado después de grabar un episodio del podcast "BS w / Jake Paul", a principios de este mes.

Hearn shuts down all that talk ... saying Haney was well-equipped in the ring.

Ryan Garcia might act unhinged on social media, but the boxing superstar couldn't be further from that in real life ... so says model Grace Boor, who tells TMZ Sports "King Ry" was the ultimate gentleman throughout their time together this week.

Mike Tyson might be a few decades past his prime, but he's still clearly a menace in the ring -- showing Monday night his fists have plenty of violence left in them.

The former heavyweight champ shared footage to his Instagram of a recent training sesh ... and in it, you can see the guy still definitely appears to be capable of knocking someone's block off.

Of course, Iron Mike is currently ramping up for his July tilt with Jake Paul -- and it's clear as day, he's taking the matchup seriously.

Adrien Broner says Devin Haney needs him now more than ever -- after suffering the first loss of his career on Saturday -- with AB challenging the 31-1 boxer to a fight!

34-year-old Broner, 35-4, made a video addressing 25-year-old Haney after Saturday's fight at Barclays in Brooklyn ... one of the most shocking upsets of the year.

"I know everybody waiting on my reaction, but I'mma just tell the truth," Broner said in an Instagram video.

Ryan Garcia scored a major upset over boxing champion Devin Haney, knocking him on his ass THREE TIMES during the dramatic bout.

Garcia stood toe-to-toe with Haney -- the WBC junior lightweight title holder -- Saturday night at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center. The two went the distance, pulverizing each other for 12 grueling rounds.

In the end, Garcia snagged the majority decision, and, deservedly so, after he repeatedly dropped Haney to the canvas with powerful blows.

Ryan Garcia is not taking the Devin Haney fight seriously ... and because of that, the 24-1 boxer will suffer the 2nd loss of his career -- at least that's the way fellow star fighter Shakur Stevenson sees it!

Stevenson, 21-0, joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ahead of the Haney vs. Garcia fight on Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn ... and we asked Shakur for his thoughts.

"I kinda think [Ryan's] not focused. I don't think that he's really taking the fight serious," Stevenson said.

Andy Ruiz's ex has won her court battle with the star boxer ... TMZ Sports has learned a judge granted her a permanent restraining order earlier this month against the former heavyweight champ.

Julia Lemus had been seeking the order of protection since April 2023 ... after she alleged Ruiz sexually assaulted, abused, and terrorized her throughout their relationship.

In her application for the order, Lemus -- who began seeing Ruiz around 2016 -- said the 34-year-old would often grab and yank her to move her wherever he wanted her to go. She also claimed he would "jokingly" punch her in her arms and legs, leaving her with bruises.
