Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson predictions
This isn’t a fight for boxing purists but you can guarantee everyone will still be tuning in for what should be a fascinating contest between a former undisputed heavyweight king and a social media star-turned-boxer.
For all Tyson’s previous success, Paul comes into the bout as the clear betting favorite and deservedly so. Tyson may be one of the all-time greats of the ring but he is now 58 years old and has been inactive for the best part of two decades. In contrast, the Problem Child has fought 11 times in under 5 years, and while his boxing credentials have to be questioned, there is no denying that he is an excellent athlete and a powerful puncher. Let’s take a look at my best bet for the fight.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson best bet: Under 5.5 rounds (+100)
Odds available at Bet365 and FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The general train of thought is that if Paul can outmaneuver Tyson in the early rounds then Iron Mike will tire and the younger man will either claim a stoppage or points win. However, that presumes a level of skill and ringcraft we’ve not yet seen from Paul and backing an early finish in Texas looks the best bet.
Tyson will know his best chance is to get the job done early. The Baddest Man on the Planet has looked sharp during media workouts but it has also been evident that his fitness, understandably, isn’t what it once was.
Conversely, Paul does possess the stamina to go the full distance, albeit that has never previously been his strategy – 7 of his 10 wins have been via stoppage – and he is unlikely to make big changes now, so there is every chance the main event could be wrapped up by the 4th or 5th round, so betting on there to be under 5.5 rounds looks a great Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson best bet.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson pick: Jake Paul to be knocked down (+144)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
If Paul can avoid being knocked out he is the likelier victor but there is little appeal in backing him at such low odds, especially given that oddsmakers go a much juicier 13-8 about Tyson recording at least one knockdown. The theory that the last thing a boxer loses is his punch will be put to the ultimate test in Texas, although that mantra usually applied to fighters in their 40s rather than a man of almost 60 returning to the ring. Even if adding a final win to his incredible resume proves a step too far, Tyson must believe he carries enough power to do some damage against a fighter who has never been anywhere near a boxer of his ability.

Despite Mike Tyson’s historic career, Jake Paul is a sizeable favorite to get the better of the boxing legend.
