newsweek.com

Mike Tyson, 58, is set to fight Jake Paul, 27, tonight at AT&T Stadium in Texas. This match is unique as it features a former heavyweight champion against a popular YouTuber-turned-boxer. The fight will be broadcast on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. The bout is classified as professional but has modified rules. It will consist of eight two-minute rounds, and both fighters will wear 14-ounce gloves. Betting odds favor Paul, who has a record of 10-1, while Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005. Betting interest is high, with many placing bets on Tyson despite the odds favoring Paul. Analysts note that this event has attracted more bets than some NFL games. The outcome remains uncertain, with Tyson's knockout power being a significant factor.
