What song will play during Paul's walkout?

Paul often aims to troll and poke at his opponent while choosing his walk-out song, or to offer a dose of nostalgia. We saw the latter prior to his bout against Mike Tyson, when Paul went with "In the Air Tonight," which was a callback to Tyson's appearance in "The Hangover." 

He's also used his own music at times, doing so during WWE appearances.

The ever-popular crowd sing-along song "Sweet Caroline" is getting the shortest odds at FanDuel Canada, no doubt because it's often been played prior to Joshua's fights and has been attached to the two-time champion.

Song Odds (via FanDuel Canada)
Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond) +175
Any Jake Paul original soundtrack +340
Wonderwall (Oasis) +550
You'll Never Walk Alone (Gerry and The Pacemakers) +850
Power (Kanye West) +1000
London Calling (The Clash) +1000
First Person Shooter (Drake and J. Cole) +1100
Lose Yourself (Eminem) +1400
DNA (Kendrick Lamar) +1400
God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols) +1600

Prediction: Sweet Caroline (+175)

Will Joshua win in 60 seconds?

The Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua betting odds show that the latter winning via knockout is the most highly favored method of victory, and it's not especially close

Fight outcome Odds (via DraftKings)
Anthony Joshua by KO/TKO/DQ -380
Anthony Joshua by decision or technical decision +425
Jake Paul by KO/TKO/DQ +1400
Jake Paul by decision or technical decision +1400
Draw +2200

With that in mind, betting on the fight to end in very speedy fashion and within the first minute might be worth a sprinkle.

BetMGM is offering odds for Joshua to connect quickly and knock Paul out in the first minute with its cleverly named "gone in 60 seconds" market.

Betting odds: +600 via BetMGM

Will Paul be knocked down 3-plus times?

Going against the hopes for a juicy payout on Paul getting knocked out early is the notion that a massively promoted fight on Netflix amid the holiday season will surely aim to entertain. Yes, it's sanctioned, but as is the case with many Paul fights, entertainment usually wins over purity.

So if you believe there will be at least some longevity to the evening but the heavily favored Joshua (-1200) will still dominate, DraftKings is wondering if Paul will be knocked down three-plus times.

Betting odds: +300 via DraftKings

Will Joshua be knocked down in Round 1 and win?

DraftKings offers several categories of fight specials separated into tiers, with the first up to +1400 betting odds, the second between +1600 and +5000, and the last the true deep shots featuring anything +6500 and higher.

As our Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua predictions show, any Joshua decision is highly favored over anything tied to Paul. Joshua is the far more experienced fighter, and he towers over Paul physically.

However, Paul will no doubt begin with high energy, and one phantom punch that rocks Joshua early could set up this bet nicely. We'd then be in line for Joshua to be knocked down in Round 1 and win.

Betting odds: +6500 via DraftKings

Can Paul land 10-plus punches in Round 1 and Round 8?

A lot has to go right for this to happen, hence the lengthy odds. Paul needs to claw his way to landing 10-plus punches against the far larger Joshua in the opening round while avoiding a slumber. Then he needs to last into Round 8 with enough stamina to do it again.

Still, he'll likely be a scrappy underdog, and putting on a show is the whole point here. Right now Paul landing 10-plus punches in Round 1 and Round 8 is being offered at FanDuel.

Betting odds: +650 via FanDuel
