Mike Tyson puts on his boxing gloves again to face Jake Paul, former YouTuber turned boxer, this Friday, November 15 (8 pm ET / 7 pm CT) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight has generated the attention of Iron Mike fans around the world and many will take advantage of the occasion to place their respective bets. In the United States, the odds have an unexpected winner that is justified by the current state of both.
According to the most famous bookmakers in the United States, Jake Paul (-194 on Fanduel) is the favorite to win against Mike Tyson (+158). Although it sounds a little crazy, it must be taken into account that Iron Mike has not fought officially for 19 years and his age - now 58 - would not allow him to offer the destructive level with which he was always characterized in the ring. He has also had health problems such as his ulcer.
On the other hand, the influencer is in his prime at 27 years old and has some experience in the ring after beating fighters of the caliber of Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. However, many of these victories have been accused of fraud. We do not know if Tyson will enter that same game. What is certain is that a victory for Iron Mike could give you some good profits for your pockets.
Below, we share the odds from the bookmakers of FANDUEL, Draftkings Sportsbook, BetMGM, Bet365, Caesars Sportsbook, Borgata and BetRivers.
| Odds | Jake Paul | Draw | Mike Tyson |
|---|---|---|---|
| FANDUEL | -194 | N/A | +158 |
| Draftkings Sportsbook | -200 | N/A | +160 |

The fight has been scheduled for eight rounds with a time of two minutes and, also, both boxers will be allowed to use 14-ounce gloves (the common thing in heavyweights is to wear 10-ounce gloves). In this context, we can conclude that the fight between Tyson and Paul can end in the first round. A knockout is the key to victory for Tyson, who will undoubtedly not be able to complete all the rounds due to the fatigue that comes with fighting for several minutes at his age. Meanwhile, Paul has two more accessible alternatives to take the win: 1) exhaust Tyson as the rounds go by or 2) go for a KO during the first seconds.
| Method of victory | Jake Paul | Mike Tyson |
|---|---|---|
| Win outright | -200 | +160 |
| Win by KO/TKO/DQ | +150 | +250 |
| Win by decision or technical | +280 | +950 |
| Draw | +750 | +750 |
