The eagerly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury has been confirmed for December 21st in Saudi Arabia and we check out the latest Usyk vs Fury betting odds with the top bookmakers.
Oleksandr Usyk rocked Tyson Fury en route to a split decision victory on May 18th and was crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, combining the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles for the first time in the historic division.
There was a little bit of controversy following the fight, but nothing of too much note.
Fury, of course, believes he won the fight, but Team Usyk believed that the fight should have been stopped in the ninth round following a barrage of unanswered punches from the dominant Ukrainian.
With a rematch clause signed pre-fight, the pair will meet this Christmas for Round 13 and beyond, but it’s unclear how many titles will be on the line.
The IBF are rumoured to be stripping Usyk of this title in the coming weeks in order for it to be contested as a vacant title, and it’s unclear whether any of the other organisations will follow suit to some degree.
So what are the pre-fight odds looking like for the rematch and what boxing betting offers are available currently?
Latest Betting Odds - Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2
- Tyson Fury to win - 6/4 with Paddy Power
- Oleksandr Usyk to win - 4/6 with BetVictor
- The Draw - 18/1 with BetMGM
Fury is a slight underdog for the rematch having started the first meeting as a 4/5 fav with the bookmakers.
The Briton was able to control pockets of the first fight but nowhere near enough to assert his size over the Ukrainian, who was fleet of foot in attacking Fury with sharp angles and stiff left hands.
Fury will have to make some big adjustments if he is to topple the new heavyweight king – perhaps adding some weight on his frame in an attempt to back Usyk up and hurt him harder to the body.
The repeat result is on offer at 8/15 at current, with the bookies backing the champion to be able to dominate the story of the rematch.
Usyk’s ability to come on strong in the second half of fights is a real bow to his illustrious arrow and he may well have dented Fury’s belief after that first meeting.
Usyk knows he can hurt Fury and will no doubt be targetting the stoppage in December.
The scorecards were tight enough a fortnight ago to suggest that a draw isn’t a wild suggestion in this rematch.
Some rounds were very hard to score between the two heavyweights, and these conflicting opinions can often end in a stalemate.
