Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua betting preview

Paul's win over Tyson was notable in terms of the name he defeated, but Tyson was clearly a shell of the top-flight fighter he was decades ago. That's not the case for Joshua, who just turned 36 in October, and was the best heavyweight boxer in the world just a few years back. He lost his unified heavyweight championship belt to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021, but Joshua has won four of his last five fights overall and remains extremely relevant in the boxing world as he's 28-4 overall with 25 of his wins coming via knockouts.

In addition to Joshua's big edge in experience, size will be a major factor in this fight. Joshua last fought at 252 pounds, while Paul was 227 pounds when he took on Tyson last year. Joshua also has a substantial edge in reach and height in this matchup.

With books clearly favoring Joshua to win, Paul vs. Joshua prop bets will certainly be popular as well. Joshua to win in Round 1, for example, returns +200 at DraftKings, while the fight going the distance pays +380. Bet the fight at FanDuel Sportsbook here:
