“I have 100 racks on him for long distance stops, so if he loses, then I will lose 100 bags as well. I got him on 3/1,” Tyson said in an interview with IFL TV, per Daily Mail.
He continued, “I knew Tommy was going to drop it. What’s quite stupid is that I see all these pundits and professional boxers picking Jake Paul over Tommy.”
