Jake Paul Favored in Boxing Odds
Opening Jake Paul vs Mike Perry odds have been released, and Paul finds himself as the favorite at -250. This means that bettors would need to wager $250 on Paul to win $100 if he emerges victorious. The odds suggest that Paul has a 69.7% implied probability of winning the fight.
Paul’s favoritism can be attributed to his impressive boxing resume, boasting a 9-1 record with six knockouts. The YouTube star has shown improvement in the ring, utilizing his size and power to his advantage.
The Problem Child’s aggressive style and ability to wear down his foes have been key factors in his recent victories against the likes of Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.
However, Paul isn’t a heavier favorite due to some perceived weaknesses. He has yet to face a top-ranked boxer and has been carefully selecting his opponents. Additionally, his loss to Tommy Fury in February 2023 exposed some vulnerabilities in his game.
Mike Perry Underdog Against Paul
On the other side of the equation, Mike Perry enters the fight as the underdog with odds of +200. This means that a $100 bet on Perry would yield a profit of $200 if he manages to pull off the upset. The odds give Perry a 33.3% implied probability of winning.
Perry, a former UFC fighter, has recently found success in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), where he holds an undefeated record of 5-0 with three knockouts. However, his boxing experience is limited, with his only recorded boxing match ending in a knockout loss back in 2015.

While Perry’s toughness and brawling style have served him well in the BKFC, it remains to be seen how well he can adapt to the traditional boxing format.
Perry’s lack of defense and the potential to gas out in the later rounds could be significant disadvantages against a more technical boxer like Paul.
Paul vs Perry Expected Odds Movement
The early odds for the Jake Paul vs Mike Perry fight stand at -250 for Paul and +200 for Perry. We expect that these odds will fluctuate as the fight draws closer and more bets come in.
There is a possibility that Paul could become an even shorter favorite by fight night, as the public may heavily back the YouTube star based on his recent successes and popularity. However, some experts might lean towards Perry, considering his experience in combat sports and his potential to land a knockout blow.
Overall, our early prediction for this fight leans toward the ‘Problem Child’ securing another victory in his boxing career. His size, power, and technical improvements should prove too much for Perry, who will be stepping into the boxing ring for only the second time in his career.
