Paul vs. Tyson Prediction: Who is the Favorite in the Boxing Match?
Ahead of the showdown between boxing legend Mike Tyson and influencer star Jake Paul, the pivotal question arises: Who will come out on top in this mismatched boxing bout? According to bookmakers’ predictions for Paul vs. Tyson, it seems likely that Jake Paul, who is 30 years younger, may hold the advantage as the favourite. He leads the betting odds not only for a general victory but also for success via knockout or decision.
While Jake Paul has gained notoriety for his boxing endeavours, the betting odds suggest that his performances are commendable. Initially perceived as mere social media stunts, Paul has slowly built a reputation as a somewhat respectable boxer. However, his opponents so far haven’t been the most intimidating boxing legends.
Most notably, he’s faced former MMA fighters, including Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. Paul’s recent bouts involved Andre August and Ryan Bourland—both former boxers, although not significantly successful. Nonetheless, Paul, famously known as “The Problem Child,” managed to knock out both of them in the first round.
