Although Ngannou's (17-3 MMA, 0-1 boxing) performance against Fury sent shockwaves through the combat world, the former UFC heavyweight champion says he wasn't surprised at his performance. Ngannou told the media this week he was convinced he could beat Fury and is still disappointed that the close decision didn't go his way.


Even so, the 37-year-old reiterated that he doesn't see boxing as a novelty hobby or a way to cash in on his newfound appeal to the sport's audience. He believes a win over Joshua could put him in contention for a title shot, and promoter Eddie Hearn told the media he believes the winner of Friday's fight should become the front-runner for a title shot against Fury or Usyk, who are scheduled to fight each other May 18 for the unified title, sometime later this year.

"I don't think I've shocked the world just yet," Ngannou said. "I'm just getting started. I don't think beating Joshua will make any statement for my career because the road is still long."

-340 is a heck of a lot of chalk for someone like Joshua, who lost to a fat Mexican not that long ago😵.
Joshua does deserve to be the favorite versus a 37 year old MMA guy, but -340 is too much imo.

Who is Favored to Win in Jake Paul Versus Mike Tyson?​

While sports betting odds aren’t available from licensed sportsbooks, some offshore sportsbooks have posted odds for the fight. Bovada, one such unregulated, offshore sportsbook, has Paul as a -225 favorite, with Tyson a +170 underdog.

In the 24 hours since the odds posted, they’ve shifted in Tyson’s direction, as Paul opened as a -500 favorite.

Paul was a heavy favorite in his last fight against UFC star Nate Diaz, with some sportsbooks listing him at -500 before the contest.
***************
i’m very surprised by this. Paul was -500 at one time?!?
I would take any plus odds on Tyson.

I'm hoping the end is near for this UFC/YouTubers v. boxers . One of these off sensations is going to get killed. It's a different ballgame with pro boxers. Has anyone seen 57 year old Tyson recently. Still strikes with force despite his age. The money on ferocious Mike is no surprise.

The rules in place for Jake Paul are ridiculous. Basically so he doesn't get murdered. From headgear to bigger gloves...this fight with Tyson is akin to a sparing match.

He better have trained harder than he did for Roy Jones jr. or that big dummy is going to retire him for good.
