Fury vs Usyk Tips
—
We’re not surprised to see Fury listed as the betting favourite. He has a big supporter base, and we have been him on the screen more than Usyk.
However, Fury will need to call upon his reserves to have a chance of winning, because his recent form has been below his best.
The Gypsy King comes off a terrible split decision victory over former UFC star Francis Ngannou. We believe he lost that fight, but the judges were never going to allow that to happen.
He will take Usyk more seriously, but looking back at Fury’s record, and apart from his wins over Deontay Wilder, he hasn’t beaten many good opponents.
Recent wins over Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora don’t rank highly. They are ageing boxers, and the 34-0-1 record of Fury could be overinflated.
British boxing legend Lennox Lewis is concerned about the weight loss for Fury.
“He’s lost a lot of weight, his legs are skinny,” Lewis said. “I’m a little bit concerned maybe if he gets hit on the chin, he doesn’t have the legs anymore.”
He has the advantage of being the bigger and taller fighter. That can’t be understated, but when it comes to pure technique, we give the edge to Usyk.
The proud Ukrainian is a four-belt champion after beating Daniel Dubois last year with a ninth-round knockout.
The 37-year-old looked great when beating Anthony Joshua in consecutive fights, and we believe that’s a better form guide than Fury.
Punters get $2.07 for Usyk, and those odds are too good to pass up. He’s the best boxer in the division in terms of boxing rankings, and he could make a statement.
Unfortunately, one boxer must lose, and we think the winning run of Fury will come to an end.
Bet: Oleksandr Usyk @ $2.07

Most of the money has come for a decision victory on either side, and that’s smart money.
Fury and Usyk are too smart to get knocked out, and they’re two of the best at avoiding getting knocked down.
Therefore, we’re taking Usyk to win by decision at $2.90. There is more risk involved, compared to the $2.07 to win outright. However, if he’s going to win, it’s likely on points.
Usyk is better at accumulating rounds compared to Fury, so winning on the judges’ scorecards shouldn’t be too difficult.
Alternatively, you can bet on if the fight will go the distance. Yes pays only $1.48, but it’s worth including in boxing multis.
Everyone wants to see a knockout, but it rarely happens in big title fights.
There is also a betting option for most punches thrown, and we’re confidently backing Usyk. He’s the $1.45 favourite for a reason, and he should be the much busier fighter.
Fury will look for a late knockout blow, but Usyk will chip away and consistently land body and head shots throughout the 12-round fight.
Exact winning method of a unanimous decision pays $2.10. We like that option, and although there is sometimes a judge who needs glasses, we think the victory to Usyk will be clear cut.
Bet: Oleksandr Usyk by Decision @ $2.90
