❓ How to bet on Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua

There's a deep betting platter tied to this titanic clash, and all of the best sports betting sites are offering various odds.

📋 Types of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua bets

You'll usually see the main moneyline odds listed first. And as the latest Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua betting odds via DraftKings show, Paul enters as a significant underdog.

Moneyline odds

Fighter Odds to win Implied win probability Profit ($10 bet)
Jake Paul +700 12.50% $70
Anthony Joshua -1200 92.31% $0.83

But there are other avenues with far more appealing odds, as a straight-up bet on the heavily favored Joshua will pay out very little.

One of the other primary markets is the method of victory, with Joshua registering a knockout as the widely favored result.

Method of victory

Fight outcome Odds
Anthony Joshua by KO/TKO/DQ -400
Anthony Joshua by decision or technical decision +450
Jake Paul by KO/TKO/DQ +1200
Jake Paul by decision or technical decision +1600
Draw +2200

If you believe Joshua will win but Paul can hang with him enough, then the +450 odds there offer juicy value.

You can also bet on which round the fight will end in on Friday, and make an Over/Under wager on the total rounds, with the number currently set at a lowly 2.5.

From there, oddsmakers get more creative. You can bet on the amount of knockdowns during the fight, too, and FanDuel offers some ways to zoom in on details. For example, here are some punch-related odds.

bet365 gets even more specific and allows bets on how many jabs are landed, and how many body punches hit the mark.
