On November 15, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) and Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) will clash in an eight round heavyweight contest at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

For those looking to place wagers, the best betting sites will be offering odds on this highly anticipated showdown.
Looking at the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul Undercard
Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano
In many eyes, Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) vs. Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) is the best fight on the card as these two collide for the undisputed super lightweight championship. This will be the 2nd time these two legends have fought, with Taylor winning a split decision to retain the undisputed lightweight championship in 2022. If it’s half as good as their first fight, we’re in for a treat.
Neeraj Goyat vs. Whindersson Nunes
Neeraj Goyat (18-4-2, 8 KOs) will take on Whindersson Nunes in a super middleweight bout, which will be the MVP debut for Goyat, who joined the stable earlier this year.
His opponent is best known as a YouTube personality in Brazil, having only one fight so far, which he lost to My Mate Nate back in 2023. It’s difficult to look past a win for Goyat.
Mario Barrios vs. Abel Ramos
Mario Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) will defend his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KOs) on the Tyson-Paul undercard. Barrios has won his last three fights since losing to Keith Thurman. His opponent returned to winning ways, defeating Juan Ramon Guzman by fifth-round TKO, which followed a majority decision defeat to Cody Crowley. We are backing Barrios to win by unanimous decision.
Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool
Shadasia Green (14-1, 11 KOs) will return to action as she faces Melinda Watpool (7-0, 2 KOs) in a 10-round contest for the vacant WBO women’s super middleweight title.
Green returned to winning ways in her last fight, defeating Natasha Spence by unanimous decision. This win followed her sole professional loss against Franchon Crews Dezurn. Watpool is undefeated and will be eager to extend her 100% professional record. Were backing Watpool to produce the more telling work against Green.
Lucas Bahdi vs. Corey Marksman
*Since writing this article, Armando Casamonica has been confirmed as the new opponent for Lucas Bahdi.
Lucas Bahdi (17-0, 15 KOs) and Corey Marksman (10-0-1, 7 KOs) will meet in a 10-round lightweight contest. The big-punching Canadian Bahdi recorded a brilliant win in his last fight, eviscerating Ashton Sylve in the sixth round of their contest when behind on all three cards.
His American opponent won his last fight by a majority decision against Tony Aguilar, who he fought to a split draw with five months earlier. This will be an interesting clash of unbeaten fighters, but we’re going for Bahdi.
Bruce Carrington Jr. vs. Dana Coolwell
It was recently confirmed that unbeaten featherweight fighter Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington (13-0, 8 KOs) has joined the card and will face Dana Coolwell (13-2, 8 KOs). Carrington recently claimed a close majority decision win against Sulaiman Segawa. The exposure will be of great benefit to the Top Rank fighter.
Coolwell has won his last six fights following a split-decision loss to Ender Luces. Australian fighters normally come to fight – but it’s difficult to look past the more established Carrington.
