Tyson is a favorite again: bookmakers changed quotes for Usyk vs Fury

The World Boxing Council (WBC) belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) is once again considered the favorite to fight Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) on May 18. At the same time, the advantage of the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, is minimal.

A week and a half before the fight in Riyadh, bookmakers updated their quotes again. Bets on Fury's victory are again accepted at odds of 1.80 (previously 1.91). The odds on the Ukrainian's success have settled at 2.00 (previously 1.91). The draw is still priced at 17.00.

At the same time, the index for early victories of boxers or a triumph by points remains unchanged. In addition, analysts are confident that the fight will last all 12 rounds, which is why they offer 1.40.

The week before last, the broadcaster of the Usyk-Fury fight in Ukraine became known and the cost of the show was determined. Former world champion Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) made his prediction for the fight. Jordan Thompson (15-1, 12 KOs), the sparring partner of the two rivals, also shared his expectations for the duel.

Before that, Fury spoke frankly about Usyk, calling him a terrible person. The British boxer also spoke about being bullied in his younger years, when he was offered to quit the sport. In addition, he announced the fantastic fees of the opponents for the May 18 fight.

It became known that the second rematch between Usyk and Fury is scheduled for mid-October. Tyson himself has already confirmed that he has no intention of giving up fight #2 against the Ukrainian.

Former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) has again given a prediction for the Usyk-Fury fight. In addition, the fight was evaluated by the former rival of the Ukrainian Tony Bellew.
