    On Paul’s The end.’

    Tyson has resisted predictions of a knockout, instead predicting “a lot of pain” or saying he has “bad intentions” heading into an eight-round fight.

    A KO would likely make a mockery of the shorter rounds and heavier gloves sanctioned for the heavyweight bout, which will be streamed live by Nexflix.

    Oddsmakers give Paul a better chance than Tyson to end the fight with a KO.

    Paul is +110 on FanDuel and +115 on DraftKings to finish the fight by knockout. Tyson, on the other hand, is +290 on FanDuel and +350 on DraftKings.

    Oddsmakers have cited Tyson’s age as the reason Paul, 27, is the favorite to win the fight, whether by knockout or on points. But sportsbooks have reported that more money is being bet on Tyson, likely because of his fighting history.

    Tyson, who will be fighting in his first professional fight since 2005, is 50-6 with 44 knockouts. Paul is 10-1 with seven knockouts.

    Tyson’s fastest knockout came against Marvis Frazier, who stopped Tyson by TKO 30 seconds into their 1986 fight. Tamyra Frazier, Marvis Frazier’s daughter, said she has advice for Paul.

    “To pray.”
