Sportsbooks are offering odds on this fight (they don't always for these celebrity/YouTuber matches). But some states are not permitting it. FanDuel, DraftKings and other sportsbooks in states like New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Connecticut cannot offer it due to gaming regulators feeling uncomfortable about its legitimacy.
If you're not in a legal betting state or your state is not offering this fight at your normal sportsbooks, you can use a DFS site or a social sportsbook to play this fight:

Where Can I Bet Tyson vs. Paul?
There are three legal options to bet this fight.
1. Traditional online sportsbooks: Operators like DraftKings and FanDuel are live in 20+ states, with operators like bet365 in 10+ states. Some states like New Jersey have almost 20 sportsbook options; others like Oregon, New Hampshire or Rhode Island have just 1-2.
2. DFS Pick'em: DFS pick'em is a new form of daily fantasy sports that isn't based on a salary cap, but instead requires you to build a lineup based on player stats. So for this fight, you can choose stats like total punches landed, fight time, total knockdowns, etc., and put them together for a bigger payout.
3. Sweepstakes sportsbooks: These platforms look like a traditional sportsbook but the mechanism to get money on the platform is different. You make a purchase, are gifted an on-site currency, and then can make picks with that on-site currency.
Fliff (available in 40+ states) is the leader in this space; Rebet and Thrillzz are also options, depending on where you're located.
