Usyk vs. Fury rematch: bookmakers published a forecast for fight #2 for the first time

WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) is the favorite to fight again against British boxer Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The odds on the winner of the rematch scheduled for the fall of 2024 are radically different from the quotes for the first fight.

At the reputable British bookmaker William Hill, you can bet on the success of our compatriot with odds of 1.57. Bets on Fury's victory are accepted with an index of 2.50.

According to analysts, a draw is extremely unlikely (15.00).

It should be noted that a few hours before the start of the first fight, the Ukrainian was an underdog. You could bet on his victory with odds of 2.30. Fury's success was estimated at 1.83.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on May 18 in Riyadh, Usyk defeated British WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and became the first ever absolute champion in the super heavyweight division in the four-belt era.

At the moment when ring announcer Michael Buffer shouted "From Ukaine!" in English, Usyk's legs gave out from excitement.

Oleksandr is the third ever absolute champion in two weight categories. Before that, he held all the cruiserweight titles.

Later, Usyk showed what his face looked like after 111 missed punches to the head from Fury. Sasha came to the press conference late due to a doctor's appointment.

The next day it became known that Oleksandr would only remain the absolute champion until June 1, 2024. The International Boxing Federation (IBF) will take away the belt because the mandatory title defense against Filip Hrgovic is overdue.

Later it became known that the judge used a little-known rule in the Usyk-Fury fight.

On May 20, Usyk was suspended from boxing and will not be able to hold any training sessions or fights for the next month and a half. The video that the Ukrainian champion recorded for the whole country showed numerous bruises and bruises on his face.
