Mike Tyson will return to professional boxing for the first time in 19 years when he faces Jake Paul in an eight-round heavyweight bout on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson retired in 2005 following a sixth-round knockout loss to journeyman Kevin McBride, but he has fought in two exhibition fights since then. Paul has won four consecutive fights since suffering the lone loss of his short career against Tommy Fury by split decision in February 2023, recently beating UFC fighter Mike Perry in July. He has knocked out his last three opponents, so should you back him to record a knockout on Friday with your Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul prop bets? The Netflix broadcast starts at 8 p.m. ET.

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul prop bets
Nagel has analyzed the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout and one of his top prop picks is Paul to win by TKO/KO at +115. Paul has a pair of first-round knockouts in his last three fights, including a sixth-round TKO victory over Mike Perry in July. Paul was able to fight at this weight for the first time in his career against Perry, helping him prepare for the heavyweight legend on Friday.
The YouTuber turned boxer is three inches taller than Tyson and has a five-reach standing advantage to go along with his obvious physical advantages as a 27-year-old. Tyson suffered three knockout losses in his last four professional fights, and he is two decades older than he was then entering this bout. Nagel thinks all signs are pointing toward Paul as the value side of this fight, especially since a TKO/KO is available at plus-money. See the rest of Nagel's prop bets here.
