Punters have been busy predicting the outcome of the Paul vs Tyson fight already - what are the most popular bets?
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will take to the ring in under a week after months of anticipation among fans and bettors alike.
Tyson, at 58, depite holding an incredible record of 50-6, hasn’t fought professionally in nearly two decades. His last bout came in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
Paul, a 27-year-old YouTube star-turned-boxer with a 10-1 record, is the favourite as it seems the bookies are leaning on the side of youth in this fight.
Jake Paul is looking to extend his win streak to five wins in a row and build on his sixth-round TKO victory over bare-knuckle figher Mike Perry in July.
There has been a lot of discussion as to whether the former undisputed heavyweight champion still has the power that once made him one of the most feared heavyweights in the world and whether he can keep up with the speed and strength of his 27-year-old opponent.
Lets take a look at what bettors have to say about the outcome of this fight.

Critics like veteran promoter Bob Arum have downplayed Tyson’s chances, citing his age as a major disadvantage, believing the 58-year-old’s speed and power have naturally faded with time.
However, others, including British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, have emphasized Tyson's fitness and lingering knockout power—the force behind his record of 50 wins, 44 by KO in his heyday.
If Tyson can avoid taking too much damage from his younger opponent he might just be able to land a telling blow and punters are gambling on that happening.
He is available at a best price of 9/4 with Sky bet to win the fight.
