One of Hollywood’s biggest names is putting his money where his mouth is ahead of Jake Paul’s fight with Anthony Joshua.
Paul, who has built a reputation for backing himself in any situation, recently claimed he would have no problem beating Joshua in Miami. But not many people are buying into that prediction.
The boxing star has often been criticized for taking matchups against opponents that he has a significant advantage over in areas like size or age.
But that won’t be the case this time, and there are legitimate concerns being raised about Paul stepping into the ring with someone as experienced and powerful as Joshua.
One person backing ‘The Problem Child’ appears to have been swayed after speaking directly with the man himself.
Jon Peters claims his family could walk away with $50 million after betting on Jake Paul
Jake Paul has made it clear there’s one fight he won’t take, but he’s still backing himself to pull off a major upset against Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center.
If he manages to win, it would go down as one of the biggest shocks in boxing history.
Jon Peters is convinced that December 19 could be an unforgettable night. He’s so confident, in fact, that he’s put $5 million on Paul to win, according to TMZ Sports.
Peters spoke directly with Paul before making his bet and came away feeling confident enough to tell his family to follow suit. Speaking on TMZ Live, Peters even claimed that combined winnings for him and his family could reach as high as $50 million if their bets come through.
Even Jake Paul’s critics are willing to bet on him against Anthony Joshua
It’s not just Jake Paul supporters who are willing to take a chance on him in Miami this Friday.
When ‘The Problem Child’ needed a replacement opponent, plenty thought Nate Diaz might step in.
The former UFC fighter, who lost to Paul when they fought in August 2023, seems to have gained some respect for him since then.
Diaz posted a betting slip on X last month that showed he could win $142,000 from a $20,000 bet if Paul pulls off the upset on December 19.
