Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will have the attention of the boxing world on Friday when they meet for a heavyweight fight in Dallas.
Tyson is a legend in the sport and has a far more decorated resume than Paul. But Paul, an influencer who has worked his way into professional boxing, is favored to win the fight on Friday.
That doesn’t seem to matter to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who thinks Tyson will win the fight.

Paul being favored is likely a product of the age difference in the fight. Tyson is 58 years old while Paul is just 27. This will be Tyson’s first professional fight in nearly two decades.
As such, it’s gaining tons of attention. Tyson may be the underdog, but there are likely many people who refuse to bet against one of the greatest boxers of all time.
There has already been some drama leading up to the fight, as things got heated between Tyson and Paul on Thursday.

Hill should be able to catch the fight on Friday, as the Dolphins won’t be in action until Sunday. But once Sunday arrives, the wide receiver, who’s playing through a wrist injury, will certainly do everything he can to help his squad in its ongoing effort to get its season back on track.
The Dolphins have a couple of winnable games coming up against the Las Vegas Raiders (this weekend) and New England Patriots (next weekend), and they’re realistically going to need to win them both in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Hill has had a rocky season, and he’s currently on pace to finish with less than 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in several years. But there’s still time for him to turn things around, and if he does, it could lead to Miami getting back in the playoff conversation.
All of those things will be sorted out over the remainder of the season, but first, many sports fans will have their eyes on the highly anticipated Tyson-Paul fight on Friday.
