Paul vs. Tyson predictions: Who will win Friday night's fight?

This fight was originally scheduled for July 20 before being postponed due to health reasons for Tyson. The former champ has been training hard and promises to bring the "devil himself" into the ring with him Friday night.

His former trainer Jeff Fenech thinks Tyson can make short work of Paul

"If it’s the Mike Tyson that I think is going to step into the ring, it’ll be over very, very quickly," Fenech told Sporting News. "…If he does things properly I think it will take a minute or so and his hand will be raised and Jake Paul will be knocked out."

Paul, though, is younger (27 years old to Tyson’s 58, bigger (6-foot-1 to 5-foot-10) and has a longer reach (76" to 71").  The Problem Child's only loss is to Tommy Fury, and he has impressed boxing analysts with his abilities.

His confidence is bountiful, too. "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," Paul said in the lead-up to the fight.

Tyson is reportedly in line to pick up a $20 million bag.

Public bettors are backing Tyson.

"Bettors want to see Paul get knocked out and love Tyson as an underdog," BetMGM's Rella said.  "The book will be rooting for Paul to win."
