Jake Paul (-230)
With probably the most unusual path ever taken to reach professional boxing, Jake Paul arrives in the ring with almost nothing to lose.
If he goes down to Mike Tyson, widely considered the baddest fighter ever, he’s still going to be seen as a hero for even stepping into the ring.
If he wins – and the current Paul vs. Tyson odds are pretty solidly in his corner – then he gains the respect of many people and can add to his celebrity status 100x over.
From his first boxing match against fellow YouTube celebrity Deji Olatunji, Paul discovered his love for the sweet science and he credits boxing for saving him from the destructive path he was on.
Jake moved on to fight – and beat – MMA stars like Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz before losing a split decision to established pro boxer Tommy Fury.
Paul is considered the favorite in this fight largely due to his age, on top of his boxing skills that are continually underestimated. At 27, he’s 31 years younger than Tyson.
Mike Tyson (+190)
With the most fearsome reputation in the history of boxing, Mike Tyson represents the toughest opponent of Jake Paul’s young boxing career.
Tyson was the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World from 1987-1990. He won his first 19 professional boxing matches, all by knockout. He won and retained his IBF, WBC, WBA, and The Ring belts in that period in nine separate fights against Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Frank Bruno, and others.
Tyson’s most recent pro fights were losses, way back in 2004-2005. In 2020, he fought the legendary Roy Jones Jr. to a draw in an exhibition match.
All this ring rust, along with being 58 years old, puts the Tyson vs Paul odds in Jake Paul’s favor. But even though Paul is still favored, the moneyline has been steadily moving towards Tyson as the fight approaches, so check back often for the latest odds.
While Iron Mike’s training videos leading up to this fight still show plenty of punching speed and power, fight fans and oddsmakers alike are giving the edge to Paul mainly because of Tyson’s potential issues with stamina and age.
It’s all going to add up to a great spectacle no matter who’s left standing. Who do you like?
