Tyson's chances are falling rapidly: bookmakers have changed quotes for Usyk-Fury fight
The World Boxing Council (WBC) belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) remains the favorite in his fight against Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), but his chances of success continue to fall rapidly. Analysts have again updated their forecast for the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion, significantly changing the quotes.
The probability of Fury's victory has decreased by another 5%. Bets on Tyson's success are now accepted at odds of 1.72 (previously 1.61). At the same time, Usyk's triumph is estimated at 2.20 (previously - 2.25). Experts also began to believe more in a draw outcome, with odds on the respective event reaching 15.00 (previously - 17.00).
Analysts are still confident that the fight will go the full distance of 12 rounds. They offer an index of 1.40. Tyson's victory on points is estimated at 2.25. And the success of Oleksandr by the judges' decision will increase the bet by 3.25 times.
As a reminder, the confrontation between the Ukrainian and the Briton is scheduled for February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Earlier, former world champion Anthony Joshua (27-3, 23 KOs) gave his unequivocal prediction for the Usyk-Fury fight and explained why our compatriot will win. And in Russia, they told us how the Ukrainian's move to the super-heavyweight division affected the division.
Oleksandr himself broke the silence about the upcoming fight by sending a formidable greeting to his opponent. At the same time, former world champion Johnny Nelson hinted that the fight would be postponed.
In addition, the Ukrainian boxer puzzled British fans with his training. And the sex symbol of world boxing, Australian Abani Bridges, made a categorical prediction about the confrontation between the Ukrainian and the British.
Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, does not consider the fight with Usyk to be the most difficult in his client's career. In turn, Eddie Hearn expressed hope for the British victory. And former world champion Carl Froch dramatically changed his forecast for the fight on February 17.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, the absolute heavyweight champion of the world (1992) Riddick Bowe has named the round in which the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will end. The Briton has made a bold new appeal to the Ukrainian.
