Jake Paul and Mike Tyson agree stunning seven-figure bet on Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano trilogy fight
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have placed a stunning $1million bet ahead of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano's highly-anticipated fight. The super-lightweight rivals will share the ring for the third time on Friday night, as Taylor looks to make the second defense of her undisputed title. Irish star Taylor has emerged victorious in the two previous meetings against Serrano, including a unanimous decision win back in November. The two rivals fought as part of the main card for Paul and Tyson's shock boxing fight - which Paul won - and now they prepare to face-off once more. Ahead of the fight, Paul phoned up Tyson and offered to place the stunning bet, to which 'Iron Mike' could not refuse. Paul shared a video on his social media platforms which showed him in conversation with Tyson. He said: 'A lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor 's fight was better than ours. They're fighting again this weekend'. Mike Tyson has Katie, I got Amanda — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 7, 2025 In a blunt response, legendary heavyweight Tyson said: 'I've got Katie.' Paul responded: 'I've got Amanda, do you wanna bet?'. Tyson enthusiastically as he shouted: 'Yeah!' 'Alright, we'll make a bet! If Katie wins then you get $1million, if Amanda wins then I get $1million,' Paul continued. Tyson responded: 'I like that! Then you've got to take me out to dinner too.' Paul then said: 'Alright, I'll take you out for dinner. I'll take you on a date.' Taylor beat Serrano for the first time in April 2022 via a split decision, despite many observers feeling that Serrano had done enough to seal victory. Their second fight was equally close, but Taylor won a unanimous decision from the judges, which again sparked debate among fans. Taylor currently hold all of the belts in the 140lb division, and has won 24 of her 25 professional fights, with just one loss on her record. Serrano is a seven-weight world champion herself, and has tasted defeat on just three occasions in her 51-fight career.

Window watch: Bhoys cash-in on Kuhn as winger set for Como move
CELTIC winger Nicolas Kuhn is on the brink of confirming his Parkhead exit after flying out to seal his transfer to Serie A side Como. The 25-year-old was pictured on Monday on what appeared to be a private plane with his agent on his way to Italy. Brendan Rodgers had confirmed the German's likely departure at the weekend, saying it would be 'great business all round' if he signed for the Italians. Celtic paid Rapid Vienna around £3million for Kuhn just 18 months ago and while he had turned in some impressive displays in the first half of last season, his form dipped after the turn of the year. 'We've virtually agreed between the club and Como, so it looks at this point that he'll be on his way, but we just have to wait for confirmation,' Rodgers said after a 1-0 friendly win over Queen's Park on Friday night. 'I think it's very clear, the model of Celtic. In the 18 months, he's done absolutely fantastic for us. He was aware of interest towards the end of last season and that sort of followed through. 'Other teams have joined in that interest over the summer and that's why a lot of the young players come. It's a wonderful, brilliant club to come to develop and improve. 'If he does end up going and signing for Como then it's great business all round.' Meanwhile, Callum McGregor is relishing Celtic's first meeting with Cork City in 16 years as Rodgers' side step up preparations for the new season with a pre-season friendly at the city's 45,000-capacity GAA stadium Pairc Ui Chaoimh. 'Obviously, it's been a while since we've been in that part of Ireland,' he said ahead of tonight's match. 'It feels so nice to come over and see the fans, let everybody see you in the flesh and hopefully give the best version of ourselves while we prepare for another long season. 'We're all looking forward to it. It's a special stadium and we want to go there and put on a show, just show the best of ourselves and hopefully have that connection with the supporters as well. 'When we get to come over (to Ireland) and see everyone in person, then it's always a special occasion. We just want to come over and try and give the best.' Rangers defender King poised to sign for League One Wycombe Rangers defender Leon King is set to sign for League One Wycombe for an undisclosed fee. The 21-year-old defender has been at the Ibrox club since 2020 and has made 20 first-team appearances. The Scotland Under-21 defender was picked to start new manager Russell Martin's first game in charge, Sunday's 2-2 friendly with Club Brugge, but is now poised to depart for the Buckinghamshire side. Well sign up former Celtic youth Sule Motherwell have signed former Celtic youngster Eseosa Sule on a season-long loan from West Brom. The Scottish-born forward came through the Bhoys' youth system before moving to The Hawthorns in 2023. After making just one League Cup appearance for the Baggies last August, Sule has returned north in search of more game time. 'The chance to get regular first-team minutes was an opportunity I couldn't say no to,' Sule told the Well website. 'This move makes sense. Being from the area, I know the club and what it means to the supporters. 'Many players have come here and it has helped their development. I hope to be the next player to experience that.' Well manager Jens Berthel Askou added: 'Eseosa is a young forward with very interesting attributes. His speed, athleticism and ball-striking are all impressive. Growing up not far from here, he already has a strong link to the area, which has enabled him to settle in very fast. He is a positive, energetic and eager young man who possesses great potential and we really look forward to developing him into a very valuable and game-decisive player for the team.' Double signing for new-look Killie KILMARNOCK have signed Dutch striker Djenairo Daniels and Welsh midfielder Tom Lowery, with both players agreeing two-year contracts. Daniels, 23, has moved to Rugby Park after spending the first half of 2025 with Cork, where he scored five goals in 12 appearances. After spending time in the academies of both PSV Eindhoven and Utrecht in his homeland, Daniels also had stints in Canada, Portugal and Iceland before moving to the League of Ireland. Killie boss Stuart Kettlewell said: 'Djenairo is one that we've been aware of for a while and his qualities are clear to see. 'He's been playing consistently recently and we're confident he will come in and hit the ground running, and that he can add to the quality we already have in the squad. We're looking forward to working with him.' Lowery arrives in Ayrshire following three seasons as a Portsmouth player. He made more than 170 appearances for Crewe prior to moving to Fratton Park in 2022, and spent the closing months of last season back on loan at Crewe. Kettlewell added: 'Tom is technically very good, works hard off the ball and brings great energy to the middle of the park. I believe he'll complement what we already have and add real depth and quality to our midfield options.' Bairns bring in defender Neilson on season-long loan FALKIRK manager John McGlynn is excited about adding Lewis Neilson to his squad after the centre-back returned on a season-long loan from Hearts. The 22-year-old had a stint with the Bairns on loan from previous club Dundee United in which he made 10 appearances in the closing months of the 2020-21 season. Amid stiff competition for a centre-back berth at Hearts, Neilson has now been allowed to join Falkirk once again as they prepare to return to the Premiership this term. 'I'm delighted to get Lewis in,' manager McGlynn said. 'He's a player we've had our eye on for some time and he fits a lot of the credentials that we're looking for. 'He's gained a lot of experience for a player so young at 22 years of age, coming through at Dundee United and then moving on to Hearts, and loan deals with Falkirk, Partick Thistle and St Johnstone. He's played a lot of games, particularly in the Premiership. 'He's got a lot of football in front of him, he's someone that I feel can make us better, and it's a good opportunity for him to continue his development.'
