The fight, which saw Jake Paul emerge victorious over the 58-year-old Tyson, set a new record for betting activity.

BetMGM, one of the leading sportsbooks, reported that the Paul-Tyson bout was the most-bet boxing or mixed-martial arts fight in its history. The event attracted three times the number of bets and four times the amount of money compared to any other combat sports event on BetMGM's platform.
