The biggest event this year is almost here, and Netflix will be streaming it worldwide on their platforms for all of their subscribers to watch at no additional cost. YouTuber turned pro boxer Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) will face one of the sport’s most polarizing figures: Mike Tyson (50-6-2, 44 KOs). This fight is scheduled for eight, 2-minute rounds and will be sanctioned by the Texas State Athletic Commission, barring any last-minute hiccups.
Paul was last in the ring just four months ago when he stopped MMA champion Mike Perry in the sixth round of their fight. On the other hand, Tyson hasn’t stepped into the ring since the November 2020 exhibition with Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. No one knows what to expect on Friday, but the interest for the event is through the roof. Who will come out victorious on Friday night?
Per DraftKings SportsBook, Jake Paul is the favorite at -220, and Mike Tyson is the underdog at +175.
Jake Paul: TKO/KO +125; Decision +320
Draw: +800
Mike Tyson: TKO/KO +260; Decision +1100
These timings could change due to the length of the undercard fights.
