Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight odds: Who is the favorite to win?

play

Fight week has finally arrived for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and both believe they will beat the other when they meet at AT&T Stadium on Friday for their highly anticipated friendly bout as part of a boxing event on Netflix.

“Hey, I respect your opinion, but it’s just my time,” Paul told Tyson in a recent clip released by Most Valuable Promotions. “The universe knows it, the gods know it, I know it and you will know it plain and simple.”

“Next week,” Tyson replied. “We’ll see.”

“I believe this will be great for boxing,” he added, “and I believe I will win.”

The mystery surrounding her confidence lies behind much of the intrigue surrounding this spectacle. This is the first time Tyson, 58, has been in the ring since an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, and he has been suffering from health issues that already forced a postponement of that bout with Paul.

Paul, 27, has lost just once in a series of exhibition bouts against various opponents, successfully combining his status as a YouTube star with an increasingly lucrative career in the ring. But he never fought at heavyweight and never faced anyone with Tyson's reputation as a boxing athlete, even though that reputation was largely built more than 30 years ago.

Here's a look at the current odds for this fight week between Tyson and Paul, including the boxer who is the clear favorite to win the fight on Friday, November 15:
