Paddy Power braces for record payout as bets surge on Tyson to knock down Paul in first round

Paddy Power is preparing for a potential record payout ahead of the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Following a dramatic weigh-in where Tyson slapped Paul, many bettors are wagering on Tyson to knock Paul down in the first round. The weigh-in incident sparked a surge of bets on this specific outcome, with thousands of punters placing money on the 8/1 odds. Tyson, returning to boxing after nearly 20 years, is seen as a significant underdog against the younger Paul. The fight, originally scheduled for July, was postponed due to Tyson's health issues. It is set to take place in Arlington, Texas, early Saturday morning.
