Speaking of Favorites, I tried to search if "official" odds are available right now. I understand that it's about 4 months to go before the fight so official odds might not come out yet at this time but at least, maybe we can find some unofficial odds, or also called preliminary odds, from some famous bookmakers.
According to this site, there's still no official odds yet as of their last update several hours ago.
The unofficial odds available out there are provided by one of the head oddsmakers of a popular sportsbook, the odds are:
Jake Paul: -360
Mike Tyson: +300
If ever that odds prediction will somehow close to the official odds, it might be worth putting some on Tyson.
However, for me, I'm not really sure if a serious fight will happen here.
There is also a risk that it will not be a serious fight, but rather a fight for entertainment.
Or it could be what we saw in the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belford... That the Brazilian fighter took the fight seriously even against the retired Holyfield and destroyed him in less than 2 minutes of the fight, but was heavily criticized for it, for take it seriously... Anyway, I'm rooting for Mike and for this fight to be a real fight.
Just all hopes that the fight won't be rigged. That the Mike Tyson who entered into that contract won't be acting like on a wrestling match scripted type. just truly rooting for real boxing match. Mike is fighter after all. I hope he won't be diving into entertainment type of sports where his aim to just earn more money. Because them, he's just like making fun of the sport that made him great early on his career. IN any case I would still bet under Mike's name.
I'm rooting for that too, although lately these contracts involve everything, including fun, some even state in the contract that the fight is to last a certain number of rounds, all for fun...
I would like to see an authentic boxing fight, a serious fight, with both fighters fighting honestly...
He hasn't looked like that in years. That's probably a very old picture.
From what I saw at the time, he lost weight and got in shape to return to the ring in 2020.
