The ‘Problem Child’ will take on Tyson tonight (November 15) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas<\/h2>\n

Jake Paul has bet on his own fight, but it could end up costing him millions if he loses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0‘Problem Child’<\/a>, 27, will take on\u00a0Tyson<\/a>, 58, tonight (November 15) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time coming after the fight, originally announced in March and planned for July, was postponed following\u00a0Tyson’s health emergency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The match will see the heavyweight champion take on his first pro opponent since 2005, when he was defeated by Kevin McBride and announced his retirement.<\/p>\n

As the final countdown to the match commences, fans are taking to social media to predict who will be victorious.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0one 3D simulation<\/a>\u00a0predicted a grizzly defeated for Paul, a video of the\u00a0boxers’ training regimes<\/a>\u00a0has also gone viral after it compared Iron Mike’s training to that of the YouTuber.<\/p>\n

There’s already been plenty of drama between the pair, including\u00a0rule changes<\/a>,\u00a0alleged ‘leaked’ scripts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tyson even slapping Paul at the weigh-in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, Paul has promised to bet a huge amount on himself winning the fight, revealing he’ll put his entire\u00a0$40 million<\/a>\u00a0purse on the line.<\/p>\n

When boxer Katie Taylor was asked to predict who would win the fight – and settled on Tyson – Paul challenged her with a wager.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much do you want to bet?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want to bet your purse?\u201d Taylor responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, let\u2019s bet the purse,\u201d Paul said, after which the pair shook hands.<\/p>\n

Paul had previously explained he was ‘here to make $40 million and knock out a legend’.<\/p>\n

Taylor is set to defend her light-welterweight record in a fight against Amanda Serrano tonight, prior to Paul’s fight against Tyson.<\/p>\n

Ahead of this evening, many have questioned why Tyson is returning to the ring after almost 20 years of retirement.<\/p>\n

While he’s set for a big payday,\u00a0he insisted that money wasn’t a contributing factor to his decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When asked by LADbible Group how much he believed he could make from the fight, Tyson said: “This fight is not going to change my life financially. If I did it for free, it\u2019s not going to change my life financially. My wife is constantly telling me, you do not need to do this fight.”<\/p>\n

He went on to say of his reasoning for accepting the high profile fight: “This is what I want to do, this is me. I\u2019m seeking my glory.”<\/p>\n
