The latest DraftKings Sportsbook odds list Tyson as a +180 underdog ($100 bet to win $180) to defeat Paul, giving him 35.71 percent implied odds to win.

On the surface, it's a difficult match to decipher. Of course, the most glaring factor is Tyson's 58-year-old age. He hasn't fought professionally in 19 years, and it's been said time and again during the lead-up to this fight that boxing is a young man's game.

Paul is 27 years old. While he only has 11 professional matches worth of experience, he clearly has age on his side. Paul also has fared well, going 10-1 with seven knockouts. He's impressed in some of his matches, beating the likes of ex-MMA stars Tyron Woodley (twice), Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva.

On the flip side, Tyson was once the most feared man in boxing, standing with a record of 37-0 with 33 knockouts at his peak as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. That was 34 years ago, but it's not as if Tyson has forgotten how to box either. He was once a world-class athlete, and maybe he has something left in the tank for one more fight.

This match's rules should help Tyson. It's eight rounds instead of the usual 10 or 12, and there are two-minute rounds instead of three. That should, in theory, help Tyson keep up with the younger Paul.

And that should be a boost for Drake's chances to make a seven-figure payout here. He's no stranger to massive bets, and we'll soon find out if he cashes in on another one.
