Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Latest Odds & Prop Bets

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set for a monumental clash tonight in Saudi Arabia, contending for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. As they step into the ring, the betting landscape showed a shift away from Usyk as betting favorite, with BetOnline odds showing Tyson Fury (-115) as Favorite.

Event Details:

• Event: Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk
• Location: Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
• Date: Sat 18th May

This change in betting odds comes on the heels of Fury’s underwhelming performance against Francis Ngannou, which raised doubts about his current form. Despite previous victories over Deontay Wilder that established him as a top contender, Wilder’s recent defeat has cast further shadows over Fury’s credentials.

The contrast between the fighters is stark. Usyk, entering only his sixth heavyweight fight, has convincingly defeated Anthony Joshua twice, showcasing his superior movement and technical skills. These attributes may prove critical against Fury, who, despite his size and reach advantages, has faced criticisms over his lifestyle and discipline outside the ring.

Current Betting Odds:

• Oleksandr Usyk: -105 [Winnings on a $100 bet: $195.00 (Implied Probability: 51.28%)]
• Tyson Fury: -115 [Winnings on a $100 bet: $187.00 (Implied Probability: 53.48%)]
