On Friday, November 15, the massive boxing event on Netflix headlined by “Iron” Mike Tyson and Jake “The Problem Child” Paul will take place. The former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world, Tyson, is returning in a professional boxing match. Tyson’s last pro fight was against Kevin McBride in June 2005.
Paul is the -210 favorite, while Tyson is a +170 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Tyson is +250 to win by knockout, and Paul is +140 to get the finish.
This fight is taking place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, the home of the Cowboys. This is Netflix’s first combat sports live broadcast. The event will air on Netflix at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Paul is 10-1 in his boxing career, having two wins over two former UFC champions, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. In July, Paul knocked out BKFC “King of Violence” Champion Mike Perry in the sixth round. This is Paul’s fourth fight in the past 11 months, and he started his boxing career under five years ago.
When this fight was announced, Paul opened as a -200 favorite, with Tyson being the +160 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Tyson competed against Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition bout in 2020. Paul knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of that fight. Tyson ended his professional boxing career on a two-fight losing streak and hasn’t won a fight since he beat Clifford Etienne in 2003.
