Mike Tyson and Jake Paul strike $1 million bet on winner of Taylor-Serrano
Tyson and Paul are still counting their money after making a fortune from squaring off in a boxing event last November that was watched by 60 million households on Netflix.
However, despite the staggering viewing statistics for the headliner, it was the co-main event between Taylor and Serrano that really captivated the fight fans.
Bray woman Taylor, having narrowly edged out a split decision victory first time around in 2022, once again reigned supreme on points to go 2-0 up in the series.
With eyes now turning to the trilogy bout set for Friday night, it won't just be pride on the line, especially for Paul.
The rematch was the most-watched women's sporting event in US history, and ahead of the trilogy, many are once again set to tune in, but there is a little bit more on the line, particularly for Paul, reports All Out Fighting.
In a video uploaded to Instagram, Paul confirmed that he and Tyson have a bet for the main event. "Mike! Wassup?" Said Paul. "Man, a lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor's fight was better than ours." Tyson quickly replied "Oh yeah?"
Paul quickly cut in and replied: "They're fighting again this weekend!" Without hesitation, Tyson stated: "I have got Katie (Taylor)."
Unsurprisingly, the 'Problem Child' is backing MVP star Serrano. "Do you wanna bet?" Replied Paul.
After a brief pause, Tyson chuckled and agreed to the wager. "All right. If Katie wins then you get $1m, but if Amanda wins, then I get $1m."
Tyson let out a quick cough before agreeing: "I like that!" The pair then jokingly agreed to a dinner date at some point after the fight.
Ahead of the much-anticipated clash, Taylor said she is buzzing to be topping the bill at another major event.
She said: "I feel great. Everything is going to plan, thank God. I feel better than I did before the last fight. From week to week, I am getting sharper and feeling stronger in training camp. I'm excited for fight night. What an amazing opportunity to fight at the Garden again, and on Netflix.
"When I first laced up a pair of gloves as a nine- or ten-year-old, I don't think anybody would have imagined I would be in this position today. I'm so grateful for this amazing journey! To headline such an impressive all-female card is just remarkable."
The 39-year-old added: "You always must make little adjustments for every fight. It's the person who adjusts the better in these three clashes that wins the fights.
"It's all about adapting to the challenge, and I think we're on the right track. I out-boxed her the first time and out-fought her the second time, so I feel like I am in a good position for the third fight.
"Right now, I'm staying laser-focused and doing what I must do every single day in training. I've been giving it my all, and I'm going to be giving my all again on flight night."

THIS is the moment police and sniffer dogs scour Kneecap's dressing room ahead of the band's sold-out Glasgow gig.

It follows a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. They apologised to fans following the TRNSMT decision, and in a bid to "try to make up for it", the band decided to put on a show at the O2 Academy. And ahead of their show, police and sniffer dogs were scouring their dressing room. A video which was shared on the band's Instagram shows an officer leading a dog around the room while members sit on some sofas. Another snap on the group's Facebook shows a van with a 'search dogs' sticker on the side. Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in the city today, with Police Scotland "aiming to minimise disruption". Cops also stated that a "proportionate and considered policing plan" is currently in place during the gigs. Most read in Music Superintendent Paul Douglas said: "We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. "A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow." Crowds gather as Kneecap play Glasgow gig after TRNSMT axe Pictures from the venue earlier showed the group arriving and waving to fans, with member Móglaí Bap wearing a classic Celtic Bumblee away shirt. Meanwhile, Mo Chara greeted fans with a peace sign as security led the pair into the venue. Police were also standing by outside the O2 with pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered nearby. Door staff were ordering fans to remove tricolour-style balaclavas, like that worn by Kneecap member DJ Próvaí. Police Scotland have been approached for comment. 5 Mo Chara greeted fans as security led the pair into the venue Credit: PA 5 Police were standing by outside the O2 with pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered nearby Credit: PA
