Tyson-Paul Fight Becomes Most-Bet Boxing Match in Entain History

The fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTuber Jake Paul became the most-bet fight in Entain history. Although Paul was the bookmaker's favorite, Tyson was the favorite among the players.

According to Entain, the fight set records for the number of bets and the total amount of bets on a sporting event among the brands BetMGM, Coral and Ladbrokes. Although Paul was the favorite due to the age difference, players preferred Tyson: 68% bet on his victory, with the largest number of bets on Tyson's victory by knockout.

The large number of viewers on Netflix, where the fight was broadcast, and Paul's popularity certainly influenced these records. At its peak, 65 million households watched the fight, contributing to the huge interest in the event.
