Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua betting preview

Anthony Joshua doesn't have the name appeal of Mike Tyson or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the last two fighters Jake Paul went against, but he is finally a boxer at a proper age who will challenge the streamer-turned-professional boxer. Paul was originally set to fight Gervonta "Tank" Davis on Nov. 14, but the fight was called off due to Davis' current legal issues. Paul and his camp quickly pivoted to find a replacement to have a fight on Netflix in 2025, and landed on his toughest test yet.

Joshua, at 6-foot-6, has a five-inch height advantage over the 6-1 Paul. The 36-year-old is a former gold medal boxer, winning at the 2012 London Olympics for Great Britain, and a two-time heavyweight champion with a career record of 28-4 with 25 knockouts. Meanwhile, Paul is 12-1 with seven knockouts. Paul has won six straight fights, his last two coming via unanimous decision.

The odds indicate the fight isn't likely to go the eight-round distance, with "No" being the -600 favorite, while "Yes" has +380 odds to go the distance at DraftKings. Joshua is -400 to win via KO/TKO/DQ, and if Paul pulls off the upset, the Problem Child winning by KO/TKO/DQ has the shortest odds at +1100 for method of victory odds at DraftKings. Bet the fight at FanDuel Sportsbook here:
