According to the 'Stake', the YouTuber is the favorite to raise his arms when the bell rings at the betting houses. The two will step into the ring at AT&T Stadium, in Texas (USA), on Friday night (15).

At 27 years old, the 'Problem Boy' has 11 fights as a professional: ten wins and one loss in his career. In July 2024, Jake Paul won his last fight, defeating Mike Perry by technical knockout in the sixth round. On the other hand, Tyson returns to the ring after 19 years without a professional fight. The former champion has 50 wins (44 by knockout), six losses and two No Contests (fight without a result).
Despite an enviable resume, 'Iron Mike' faces an eight-round fight, lasting two minutes each, which raises doubts as to whether the veteran, almost in his sixties, will be able to stand for long if the fight goes on for too long. One of the reasons that puts Jake Paul as the favorite, paying R$1,46, while the living legend of boxing Mike Tyson pays R$ 2,60.
Neeraj Goyat (R$ 1,21) x Whindersson Nunes (R$ 4,10)
The Brazilian Whindersson Nunes Paul vs. Tyson faces a big challenge in the main card. He will face a professional boxer, Neeraj Goyat. The 32-year-old Indian has a record of 18 wins (eight by knockout), two draws and four losses. He was the WBC Asian champion three times, in 2015, 2016 and 2017, consecutively.
Despite being a promising young man, Whindersson Nunes still needs 'soup' in the world of the noble art. The celebrity has two wins, two losses and one draw in boxing, which was against the four-time world champion Acelino Popó Freitas. Therefore, the Brazilian is considered the 'underdog', paying R$4,10 against R$1,21 for Neeraj Goyat.
