What happens when you pit a man who won his first heavyweight title nine presidential terms ago against a young, social media influencer who is relatively new to the boxing game?
You get an absolute spectacle, which should provide plenty of chances for bettors to cash in.
In late winter, it was announced that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul would square off in a boxing match originally scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
That date got postponed, and now the two will face off on Friday, Nov. 15, which will stream on Netflix.
ODDS TO WIN BOXING MATCH: *
Jake Paul: -220 (bet $10 to win $14.55 total)
Mike Tyson: +175 (bet $10 to win $27.50 total)
*odds as of 11/11/24
On April 29, the fight was officially sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, meaning the bout will be professional and go on both fighters' official records.
The early hypothetical odds at DraftKings Sportsbooks had Paul as the heavy favorite at -360, most likely because he is thirty years younger. Tyson, who was +300 at the time, will be 58 by the time of the fight. In combat sports, that type of disadvantage is often too much to overcome.
Then, in May, Paul's odds sat at -180 with Tyson's at +135.
However, with only a few days left before the fight, the social media star has seen his odds shorten to -220. Tyson's have lengthened to +175.
Back in March, FOX Sports' Keyshawn Johnson said he believes Paul has a lot to fear when he steps into the ring with Tyson.
"[Jake Paul] is in the ring with a dude who did that for a living," Johnson said on "Undisputed." If you [Skip Bayless] get on a football field with me, it's not going to be the same because I did that for a living. If I try to be a journalist like you all the time, you're probably going to win. But, he is going up against a guy that all he did for his life was was box.
"I don't know Jake Paul's chin level, I don't know if he can take a shot or whatever the case may be, but Mike Tyson is not going to lose to him."
