Read on as we break down all of the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua odds, along with our best bet to win Friday night's fight.

🥊 Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua odds: Who will win?

Here are the latest Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua moneyline odds via DraftKings as of Monday, Dec. 15.

The Paul vs. Joshua moneyline odds have held very steady since they first opened. Joshua is the more accomplished boxer, holding a 28-4 professional record with 25 knockout victories and two losses by knockout.

The Englishman stands 6-foot-6 with an 82-inch reach. He last lost to Daniel Dubois via knockout on Sept. 21, 2024. He had previously won four straight fights against Jermaine Franklin Jr., Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou.

Paul earned seven of his 12 victories by knockout, with only one loss by split decision on his record (Tommy Fury). Those wins include fights against Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), Anderson Silva, and a then-58-year-old Mike Tyson. He most recently beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision in late June.

As such, Joshua is being given a 92.31% chance to beat Paul on Friday night. A winning $10 bet would return a profit of just 83 cents if he does.

💰 Best Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua bet

Anthony Joshua by decision or technical decision (+450)

It's not at all surprising to see Joshua as the heavy betting favorite across our best boxing betting sites. He has the better resume, plain and simple.

Rather than betting into the steep -1200 moneyline odds (or even the -400 odds for Joshua to win by knockout), I'm going to try to turn a $10 bet into a $45 profit with Joshua to win by decision or technical decision.

While completely narrative-based, it's important to remember that Jake Paul fights have been held for the masses. His fight last year against Mike Tyson went the distance to the judges, despite both fighters seemingly having several chances to end it early on. This is another fight on Netflix, on a Friday night, and close to the holiday season. The streaming giant will want to get its money's worth in viewer retention ahead of airing two NFL games on Christmas Day.
