Method of Victory odds have Tyson by Decision paying $33 for every $10 bet, KO -120, Jones Jr. by Decision paying $30, KO paying $41 for every $10 bet.  The draw pays $60 for every $10 bet.

54-year-old Tyson hasn't been in the ring since 2005.  Jones, 51, is a former champion in four weight classes and last fought in 2018.

Few books are offering a full betting slate though nearly all have their lines featured on the SBR odds feed.  The reason for this is that the fight is considered an "exhibition".

Rules pertaining to exhibition fights:

“Winner must be announced at venue for action. If no winner is announced for any reason, all wagers will be settled no action regardless of how the fight ended or any judges scores.”

The undercard kicks off at 9 pm ET from Los Angeles.
