How might the betting look for Fury vs. Usyk?
Despite the lack of confirmation, odds on the bout have been popping up at several bookmakers, indicating a heavyweight interest in the bout. This makes it seem as though Fury will be returning from his recent "retirement," as the Ukrainian has certainly earned the chance to face off against the Gipsy King.
With more reach, the support of the betting public, and a wider range of boxing abilities on his side, Tyson Fury has all the makings of a heavyweight great after finally knocking out Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas.
But maybe Usyk feels a sense of destiny, what with the fight taking place against the backdrop of the turmoil in Ukraine, even though he lacks Fury's terrifying height and reach. However, oddsmakers do not consider such things.
As a result of their victory over Fury Usyk, the champion will join an exclusive group of heavyweight champions that has not been seen since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holifield in 1999.
All things considered, this might be a huge night for gambling enterprises, one that doesn't need the usual Las Vegas venue.
At 4/7, Fury is currently the favourite to face Usyk in Usyk's next fight, according to odds provided by Sky Bet. American chances for Fury are +200 on FanDuel, a US-based sportsbook, while Usyk's odds are -250.
