Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul odds analysis
With only hours to go before the fight, Tyson's odds have slimmed further to +160 compared to Paul at -200. Tyson, at times, has looked every bit his age and then some. Often seeming potentially fragile, giving credence to Paul's critics who chastise him for stunt fights and targeting names who are well past their prime.
However, it certainly doesn't look like he's taking his training lying down.

Egads! Whether this is merely cosmetic to avoid people getting too hung up on a foregone conclusion or Tyson is poised to knock Paul on his ass is immaterial. Tyson looks like he's in tip-top shape and might be out for blood.
This isn't the first time this month that Tyson has posted workout routines and photos from his training sessions, showcasing his physique leading up to his bout with Paul.

Now, whether this has had any actual or tangible effect on the odds is up for debate, but Tyson is now +210 to win after being in the neighborhood of +275 earlier in the lead-up.
Mike Tyson's age and health concerns
Back in the spring, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a cross-country flight, per TMZ. He was apparently in so much pain that flight attendants sought medical help among the passengers. Shortly after, Netflix announced that the fight would have to be postponed.
Tyson retired from professional boxing after losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005 at the age of 38. He was already well past his prime by that point and had suffered three of his six career losses over a span of four fights.
Since then, he has fought in a pair of exhibition bouts, one in 2006 against Corey Sanders that wasn't scored and an eight-round draw in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr.
Now, at 58, he'll square off in an officially sanctioned fight against YouTuber and fledgling boxer Paul, who has made a name for himself in the boxing arena by fighting basketball players, MMA fighters, and aged pugilists like Tyson. In one of his only bouts against an active boxer, Paul lost to Tommy Fury by split decision. However, he did take down 35-year-old Ryan Bourland by first-round knockout on March 2.
Paul's second professional boxing match was on the undercard of that 2020 event that featured Tyson vs. Jones. He knocked former NBA point guard Nate Robinson out in the second round.
So, Paul is returning to the well and fighting a boxer with name recognition but isn't viewed as a legitimate opponent due to his advanced age and lack of activity for the better part of 20 years.
Still, this fight is less about boxing's legitimacy and more about spectacle, which is something both Tyson and Paul acutely understand.
Paul is favored between at -200, with Tyson the underdog at +160, which isn't as wide a gap as one might expect for a fight involving a man who hasn't fought a real boxing match in nearly two decades (unless you count the Jones bout).
And optimism in Paul could be waning, or haters could be simply champing at the bit to see him get pulverized.
