Betting Sites React to News of Paul V Tyson Being Sanctioned

Most bookmakers have now installed Jake Paul as the odds-on favourite

Following the announcement that the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations will sanction the July 20 fight between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson as a professional bout, there has been a notable reaction in the betting markets.

Initially, only a few bookmakers were offering odds on this event. However, the news of its official sanctioning has prompted a significant increase in the number of UK betting sites now listing Jake Paul as the clear odds-on favourite.

This shift highlights the growing interest and legitimacy of the fight, set to take place over eight two-minute rounds using 14-ounce gloves, with the results impacting both fighters' professional records.

"Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome," Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said.

"Over the past six weeks, MVP has worked with its partners to satisfy the requirements of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) to sanction Paul vs. Tyson, and we are grateful that we have gotten to this point."
