Fight week has finally arrived for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and both believe they are about to beat the other when they meet for their long-awaited exhibition fight Friday at AT&T Stadium as part of a boxing event on Netflix.

“Hey, I respect your opinion, but it’s just my time,” Paul told Tyson in one clip released recently by Most Valuable Promotions. “The universe knows it, the gods know it, I know it, and you will know it, plain and simple.”

“Next week,” Tyson snapped back. “We’ll see.”

“I think it will be great for boxing,” he added, “and I think I’m going to win.”

The mystery surrounding their confidence levels lies behind much of the intrigue surrounding this play. This is the first time Tyson, 58, has been in the ring since an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, and he endured health issues that already forced this fight with Paul to be postponed.

Paul, 27, has lost just once in a series of exhibition bouts against a variety of opponents, successfully combining his status as a YouTube star with an increasingly lucrative career in the ring. But he has never fought in the heavyweight division and never faced anyone with Tyson’s reputation in boxing, albeit a reputation built largely more than 30 years ago.

Here’s a look at the current odds now that fight week for Tyson vs. Paul is here, including which boxer is the clear favorite to win the fight on Friday, November 15:
