Jake Paul, Mike Tyson Agree $1M Bet Ahead Taylor-Serrano Trilogy

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have agreed to a $1 million bet on the outcome of the highly anticipated Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy fight set for July 11 at Madison Square Garden, which will be streamed on Netflix. Tyson is backing Taylor, who won the first two bouts, while Paul supports Serrano, who signed a lifetime contract with Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. The bet was made during a FaceTime call where Tyson also stipulated that the loser must take the winner out to dinner, adding a friendly twist to the wager. The Taylor-Serrano fights have garnered significant attention, with the rematch being the most-watched women’s sporting event in U.S. history and praised as some of the best boxing matches in recent years. Paul, who defeated Tyson in their own high-profile bout in November 2024, is now promoting the women’s trilogy fight, continuing to raise the stakes and fan interest. This wager highlights the ongoing rivalry and mutual respect between Paul and Tyson, as well as the growing prominence of women’s boxing on a global stage.
