Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson odds are not the least bit surprising

It’s only been a few hours since the world of combat sports came to a screeching halt. Jake Paul will fight Mike Tyson and yes, unfortunately, it’s real. The fight was announced by Paul and confirmed by Tyson, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions.

Now that the The shock is starting to wear off, We must think critically about the fight that absolutely no one asked to see.

The first order of business is to see who will emerge as the favorite. And, although it is going to hurt us all… the answer is quite obvious.

Paul is the favorite when it comes to early odds against Tyson.

Odds are updated periodically and are subject to change.

Our hearts, of course, want to see Tyson knock Paul out and send him into retirement, but that probably won’t happen.

Paul is young and has been training and fighting for years. He has skills. But it’s that age factor that will really be key here. Tyson is 57 years old, 30 years older than Paul, who turned 27 in January. The age difference is enormous.

We don’t know the ruleset yet and that might change things slightly, but it probably won’t affect the outcome much.

Both fighters intervened and gave their predictions for the fight.

Pablo tweeted“My sights are set on becoming world champion, and now I have the opportunity to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion in the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. It’s time to put Iron Mike to sleep.”

Tyson also revealed his prediction for the showdown with Paul.

“I’m looking forward to getting in the ring with Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium,” he said. “He has grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It’s a coming full circle moment that will be more than exciting to watch; since I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish it.”

The fight will take place on July 20 in Texas. It will be broadcast live on Netflix.
