Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua Betting Tips
Do you remember being at school, sitting with your mates in the cafeteria, talking about how much money it would take for you to take a clean shot from Mike Tyson?
Well… here we have a similar situation, though on this occasion, fantasy is about to become reality.
Jake Paul, who made his name on YouTube and the Disney Channel, has agreed to go head-to-head with a former two-time heavyweight champion of the world. A fight which is already creating an enormous debate online.
Reports suggest that the bout will be contested under professional rules, and both fighters will be wearing regulation 10-ounce gloves. The only small caveat is that Joshua will have to come in at under 245lbs.
The biggest shock comes from the early betting odds, with boxing bookmakers pricing Paul at a very reasonable 9/1 (BetMGM). The bookies are clearly sceptical about the seriousness of this bout, and we cannot blame them.
No Expiry Date
While Paul has previously shown a certain level of ability in the squared circle, his bout against Mike Tyson in 2024 was more of a glorified sparring session.
Over 100 million people tuned into the exhibition, and the majority were left bitterly disappointed by the complete lack of action.
However, December’s bout is not an exhibition. Joshua has the license to finish the fight as soon or as late as he wants, and considering his recent mean streak, a devastating finish is well on the cards.
The Brit is no stranger to these types of mismatches, having previously boxed Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia. The former UFC heavyweight champion was flattened by Joshua in two rounds, which makes you think what kind of damage he could do to Paul next month.
Joshua’s odds of 1/10 will inevitably get shorter as the bookies realise just how dangerous December’s fight really is.
