Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have placed a $1 million bet on the outcome of the upcoming Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy fight, with Paul backing Serrano and Tyson supporting Taylor, following their previous wagers and contentious history involving lawsuits and promotions.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are at it again, placing bets on the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight. This time, there’s a cool $1 million at stake.
Previously, Paul backed Serrano, who fights under his Most Valuable Promotions, while Tyson supported Taylor, inspired by her admiration for “Iron Mike.” In the end, Paul bested Tyson, and Taylor narrowly won against Serrano in a historic match.
Now, with a trilogy fight set for Friday on Netflix, Paul called Tyson for a friendly wager. “People are saying Amanda and Katie’s fight was better than ours,” Paul remarked. “They’re at it again this weekend.”
Tyson quickly responded, “I got Katie,” prompting Paul to propose a bet. “If Katie wins, you get a million. If Amanda wins, I do. Deal?”
Tyson agreed and cheekily added that if Taylor wins, Paul owes him dinner too. Just to spice things up.
Taylor and Serrano have already delivered two epic battles, with Taylor edging out both times. The first bout even sparked a lawsuit from Taylor’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, against Paul, accusing him of bribery.
Paul countersued, but they eventually settled amicably in March. Despite their rocky past, Paul and Hearn teamed up to promote Taylor vs. Serrano 2 and will do the same for this Friday’s showdown.
Catch the action live on Netflix, with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET from Madison Square Garden. Don’t miss it!
