The rematch is on between heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former champion Tyson Fury, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on Sunday morning.
After Usyk won all four heavyweight titles in the first fight in May, most didn’t believe they would ever organise a rematch. However, all eyes will be on the enigmatic fighters, who battle for the IBF, WBC, and WBO belts.
Usyk is the $1.65 favourite to beat Fury ($2.40), and retain his unbeaten record, but the Gypsy King can’t be underestimated.

Usyk vs Fury II Tips
There was little separating Usyk and Fury in the first encounter, with Usyk winning by split decision, but we feel it was the right result. However, the tables could be turned on Sunday in favour of a Fury victory.
We thought Usyk would retire with the belts around his waist, but the money was too good to pass up for the 22-0 fighter, who has 14 wins by knockout. However, if his mind hasn’t been on the job, especially with the way in Ukraine, Fury could capitalise.
Fury didn’t do much wrong in May, but he was knocked down in Round 9, and that was the difference between winning and losing. He lost 114-113 on judge Craig Metcalfe’s scorecard, so the 10-8 round was enough to see him lose.
Boasting a 34-1-1 record, Fury is up there is the best of all time in the heavyweight division. He doesn’t always have the best defence, but punters know what they’ll get when betting on Fury. He will take in a relaxed attitude and look to pressure Usyk, and we think he’s good enough to turn the tables and reclaim the titles.
Given how close the first fight was, getting $2.40 for Fury is a great price. We priced the Brit around $2.00, so we’re locking him in to bounce back to winning form.
Bet: Tyson Fury @ $2.40

It should be all guns blazing at Riyadh, so we’re backing Fury to land a knockout blow.
The 36-year-old still has enough power to put Usyk on the canvas, and punters get $4.10 for the former heavyweight champion to win in style.
Fury has 24 wins by knockout, and although Usyk is craftier than most of Fury’s opponents, his defence can be broken. Fury likes to hit hard to the body before going upstairs, and he could connect with the temple of Usyk.
Punters can bet on which round Fury will score a knockout win and the odds are generous. It’s not an easy market to predict, but we think Fury will either win early or late. Scoring a KO in Round 3 pays $51.00 and Round 10 pays $31.00.
These options are worth taking for a bit of value and fun, and the payouts could be sizable considering the odds.
We’re also backing the fight not to go the distance. We see Usyk or Fury getting it done before the final bell, and the $2.15 odds are worth snapping up from bookmakers, who believe it will go to the judges’ scorecards again.
Punters also get $6.75 for both fighters to be knocked down. The fight could have a similar outcome to when Fury fought Deontay Wilder, where both fighters were knocked down, and although the odds suggest it’s unlikely to happen, we have seen it many times.
Just recently, Jamie Munguia and Bruno Surace were knocked down, with Surace winning as a $50.00 underdog, so a double knockdown isn’t all that uncommon.
Bet: Tyson Fury by KO in Round 10 @ $31.00
