Following Taylor's victory over Amanda Serrano on Friday night, Iron Mike wrote on X that he would see Paul "at dinner to collect my million!" Tyson and Paul placed a $1 million wager on the bout, with Paul betting on Serrano to defeat Taylor and become the undisputed super lightweight title.

This will be the third time these two champions face off. Taylor, Ireland's undisputed super lightweight champion (24-1, 6 knockouts), first defeated unified featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 31 knockouts) in May 2022 in a closely-contested match.
