One of the boxers on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event bet his property on Tyson's victory against Paul. The boxer also claimed his property in India is worth more than a million dollars.
Several combat sports athletes, including former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, criticized Paul for choosing the 58-year-old Mike Tyson as his rival. The encounter was also postponed from 20 July to 15 November due to Tyson's illness.
Despite the huge age gap between Paul and Tyson, nine out of the 12 boxers on the undercard of the event, including Indian super middleweight Neeraj Goyat, voted for the 58-year-old to win the encounter. Paul asked Goyat what he would like to bet on Tyson. The Indian boxer replied:
"I will give you my whole property in India. [Paul - How Much?]. My property is like more than 1 million, I'll give you."
