Usyk vs. Fury 2 odds and betting tips for fans
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury fans are in for an epic rematch as they both prepare to square off in their much-awaited second bout. After Usyk stunned many in their initial fight with technical brilliance earning him a split decision win, fans are buzzing about what could happen next between these two.
What is at stake for Usyk and Fury?
In contrast to their last encounter where all four belts were at stake, this time, they will only fight for three titles WBC, WBO, WBA and the Ring Magazine award. Although this might make this match seem less exciting; nevertheless it should serve as further bragging rights for whoever wins.
Oleksandr Usyk will look to show the first win wasn’t random and cement his place in heavyweight history, while Tyson Fury is playing to prove himself once and for all – he would raise after any loss and “The Gypsy King” can still dominate his division.
From favourite to underdog
Before the initial fight, Fury was widely seen as the oddsmakers’ pick (an average -120 against Usyk’s +105); due to his height and reach advantages – bookmakers betting heavily on him. Now that Usyk had already defeated Fury and become the undisputed heavyweight world champion, the Ukrainian was rated as the betting favourite for Saturday’s 21st re-fight.
Fury had initially appeared to have an edge over Usyk in terms of strength. His knockout percentage stood at 71% compared with 64% for Usyk; Fury was also taller and had greater reach compared with Usyk. But, Ukrainian southpaw outwitted Fury with technical brilliance to outmaneuve him successfully and win providing himself with an unblemished professional record with 22 victories with zero losses or drafts.
Fury had not been an underdog for over four years – the last time his fans doubted him was during his second fight with Deontay Wilder. Fury himself seemed moody at mentioning it at the Usyk vs Fury press conference in London UK.
