Jake Paul (10-1) vs. Mike Tyson (50-6, 2 NCs)
Let's get this out of the way: Tyson can knock Paul out. But that isn't the likeliest outcome.
Paul is more than three decades younger than Tyson; Paul's 27 and Tyson's 58. That age gap is a huge hill for Tyson to climb, especially considering the former heavyweight champion hasn't stepped into the ring since 2020 and hasn't fought professionally in almost 20 years.
Meanwhile, Paul - the YouTube star turned boxer who's taken the combat sports world by storm in the last four years - has stayed busy, competing three times since December. "The Problem Child" is seeking his fifth straight victory.
Friday's main event will be a relatively short one, as it's scheduled for a maximum of eight two-minute rounds. Tyson's best shot to win will come in the first round or two when he's fresh. Otherwise, Paul should be able to outlast him down the stretch.
Ultimately, I think Paul has the movement and speed necessary to avoid the one-punch knockout, drag Tyson into deep waters, and make it a grueling affair. The big question is whether or not Paul finishes Tyson, and my gut says he'll put together a flurry of punches the referee decides is enough to wave off the fight.
The pick: Paul, seventh-round TKO
