- What: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight
- When: Friday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. ET
- Where: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
- How to watch: Netflix
After a long wait, it's time to see what happens when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson put the gloves on. Originally, these two were supposed to fight over the summer, but Tyson ran into some health issues, which forced things to be delayed. Since then, Paul hasn't stopped running his mouth, which has only added to the intrigue of things. Come next weekend, it's time to settle things in the ring. With that said, Jake Paul is the favorite to bet Mike Tyson for their 2024 boxing match.
When Tyson was in his prime, he was one of the best heavyweight boxers out there. He posted some memorable wins early on in his career, including some truly impressive knockouts. The end of his career didn't go as planned and he has since been featured in some movies. However, he's still in tremendous shape for someone over 50. He's hoping to make Paul regret some of the trash talk he has sent his way.
| Jake Paul-Mike Tyson odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paul to win | -300 | -300 | -300 |
| Tyson to win | +250 | +250 | +250 |
| Over 5.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 5.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
"I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time," Tyson said in a statement after the fight was first pushed back. "Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flare-up, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon
According to the best sports betting sites, Paul has been given -300 boxing betting odds, which speaks volumes to how confident Vegas is in him posting a victory. On the other side of things, Tyson holds +250 odds via the boxing betting sites. Paul is in much better shape and he's also a lot younger than Tyson. That's going to play a role in things. We'd like to think this is going to be a close matchup, but regardless of how long it lasts, we're going with Paul as our pick.

Will Jake Paul be able to win via a knockout on Mike Tyson?
A big question a lot of people have on their minds is will Jake Paul be able to win via a knockout on Mike Tyson? While a lot of people haven't been taking Paul too seriously as a boxer, it's important to keep in mind that he himself has posted some strong wins, including ones that have ended via a TKO. He's not the biggest fighter in the world, but he has pretty incredible strength for someone his size.
Come Friday, Nov. 15, Paul is going to want to make a statement in this one. Plenty of people are continuing to troll him on social media, claiming he's a bit of a joke for the boxing industry. A lot of haters are also saying that if Tyson was still in his 20s or 30s, there would be no way that Paul would even consider stepping inside of the ring with him. Paul has seen all this talk and he's not having things impact his mindset. Nope, not one bit.

"I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night," Paul said a few months back. "My fans know I don't want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake—when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup."
According to the Vegas oddsmakers, Paul holds -105 odds of winning this fight by a TKO. Once again, that speaks volumes to how confident people are that he's going to be able to land some vicious punches on Tyson. It could end up being a night to forget for Tyson, who was once the most-feared boxer on the planet. We're sticking with Paul as our pick and we also think he'll be able to take care of business via a knockout.
How many rounds will Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul last?
Another big question on people's minds is how many rounds will Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul last? Right now, the over/under has been set at 5.5 rounds, which feels about right. The thing about this one, though, is the longer it lasts, the more trouble we think Tyson will be in. Paul is going to try and wear him down, and then try and pounce with a big-time punch. That's why Tyson is going to want to try and end things early.
However, this is something Paul is fully aware of. He's going to keep in mind that this fight will be a marathon and not a sprint. Paul is going to try and get some good shots in early on, but he'll also be focusing on his defense. The oddsmakers have the over/under set at -110 betting odds.
