BoDog Sportsbook & Casino is the only sportsbook in the world to offer odds on a possible Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. bout, offering two separate bets for this highly anticipated heavyweight fight.
"Since he beat John Ruiz on the weekend, everybody has been wondering if Roy Jones Jr. will fight Mike Tyson next," said Rob Gillespie, BoDog President. "Now we're giving people the chance to bet on what would be the biggest boxing match in a long, long time before it's even announced."
The opening line for this yet-unsigned bout has Mike Tyson as a 5/9 favorite while newly-crowned WBA heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. is a 7/5 longshot.
"As of right now this match is nothing but a dream," said Gillespie. "But the way people are talking about it, the odds are it's going to happen very soon."
And that was the thought process behind the second prop BoDog.com is currently offering for this fight.
With the match not yet announced players can bet 'Yes' or 'No' on whether or not the fight will even take place. BoDog linemakers have made 'Yes' a heavy -200 favorite while 'No' pays 3/2.
"The viewing public seems to love the possibility of seeing these two guys in the ring together," said Gillespie. "We imagine the public will be hoping, and betting, that this fight takes place sometime very soon."
