Boxing fans will have to wait a little bit longer to watch this bout, as the undisputed heavyweight title fight between Fury and Usyk has been postponed. The organizers have announced the new date for the fight, as Tyson Fury is still the favorite to win the four belts.
This title fight was scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 11, in Saudi Arabia, but Tyson Fury suffered a freak cut in the sparring two weeks before the bout, which forced the organizers to rearrange the fight’s date to May 18. The winner of this bout will be the undisputed heavyweight champion, and it’s one of the most anticipated boxing fights of the year.
Here are the updated odds for the winner of the boxing bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk:
Tyson Fury was also the favorite in the opening odds after the announcement of the bout against Usyk, but the odds got a lot closer after Fury got injured. The Gypsy King is coming off a win over Francis Ngannou last October, as he is still unbeaten in 35 professional boxing fights. Fury hasn’t been so convincing lately, but he appeared to be in great shape for this bout.
Oleksandr Usyk is ranked as the best heavyweight boxer right now. He has won all 21 of his boxing fights so far, and he will be hungry for more wins. Usyk has a 66.6% knockout rate and will make things harder for Fury in this bout. The Ukrainian boxer has had only six fights since 2018, but this will be his biggest bout to date yet.
