The much-hyped showdown between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul on Friday night in Dallas may not be the greatest fight in boxing history, but millions worldwide will definitely tune in to watch.

The bout between the legendary 58-year-old versus the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer has been touted as a "clash of generations." Longtime boxing fans are predicting Tyson will destroy his opponent while oddsmakers and betting Paul will pull off the upset.
