Anthony Joshua is 1/12 so it's not close.

I just checked and the youtuber odds are 8/1 would have thought more like 100/1. The Riyadh card Yarde and Bams opponent were both 9/1 to win even bigger odds than this

If the odds shift more and more to actually pick Jake, it's probably them falling for the hype and prefight footage. I see training videos of Jake reminding me so much of Mike Tyson footage before he fought Roy Jones Jr. They would take the best moments where he was able to throw a consistent combination and add some shaky cam to the screen to make it look even more intense. Now I know JP can actually throw consistent combinations so it isn't as much of a gimmick as it was for Mike Tyson, though cmon, let's not forget who his opponent is here.

If AJ were to lose, not only would it be one of the biggest embarrassments in boxing (worse than Tyson Fury nearly losing to Ngannou), AJ's career might as well be flushed down the toilet. Losing to a former Disney employee, lol.

I would fully expect AJ to come in and blast JP out if he's taking this serious and wants to leave no doubts. Then I can go and say, well JP, you've proven a lot wrong by taking a frightening challenge for once in which most didn't pick you to win anyway. Kudos for your bravery. I'm not sure the last fight you would have picked against JP, so this says a lot.
