Jake Paul has made a high stakes bet with Katie Taylor ahead of tonight’s controversial fight.

The 27-year-old YouTuber turned boxer has his sights set on taking on the 58-year-old Mike Tyson with fans eagerly waiting to see what happens.

With Netflix set to host its first ever live broadcast at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, all eyes are on the pair.

With the interactions the two have been having lately, it’s looking like it’ll be a fight to remember.

Paul has said he wants to face off against the 'old savage Mike', Tyson has since made his intentions clear after he slapped the content creator across the face during their weigh in.

You won’t have to wait long as the fight is due to take place at 4am UK time where 280 million online viewers will watch it from the comfort of their own homes.

Not only is Paul and Tyson fighting, but also Taylor and Amanda Serrano, who are part of the undercard.

And when Taylor, along with fellow undercard fighters Bruce Carrington, Mario Barrios and Neeraj Goyat, said they thought Tyson would win the fight, Paul furiously challenged them to put their money where their mouth is.

It was during a press conference on Wednesday November 13 that when host Ariel Helwani asked fighters on the undercard who they think will win, most chose Tyson.

This led to an angry Paul deciding to wager a bet after jumping up and asking them ‘how much?’.

Goyat put his property in India, which he claimed was worth more than $1 million, on the line, while Taylor responded: "Well, do you want to bet your purse?"

Paul has claimed his purse for the Tyson fight is $40 million, while Taylor's own purse is rumoured to be $6.1 million.

So there's a fair bit of money on the line.

While this will be Tyson’s first professional bout in nearly 20 years, he is still the former heavyweight champion.

In response to a question about whether he will lose to Paul, he shouted at a reporter in the crowd: “I am not going to lose, did you hear what I said?”

During a conversation with BBC Sport, Tyson when was asked about Paul, he had some scary words for his opponent.

He shared that he thinks that ‘Jake is a great person’, but he is also an ‘inferior’ fighter which means that he’s ‘in a lot of trouble’ when they fight in a few hours.

People in the comments of the TikTok video, viewers were quick to recognise one detail which means that it’s over for Paul once he steps foot inside of the ring.

One person wrote: “The eyes are back!!!!”

Another commented: “The thousand yard stare is terrifying.”

Someone else said: “This Tyson is more scary than Iron Mike. The calm and collected but straight killer eyes and mind. This is going to be interesting.”

One other user wrote: “That is not the same Mike Tyson I'm used to seeing. He doesn't even look like the same man. Jake Paul awakened the darkness in Mike, and you can physically see it in his face.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether Paul is the victor in the fight and in the bet against Taylor.
