Oleksandr Usyk (11-0, 10 KOs), from Kiev, Ukraine, and a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, will be defending his WBO cruiserweight world title against Top-10 contender Michael Hunter (12-0, 8 KOs), from Las Vegas, Nev. This Saturday, the American introduction of Usyk continues with an HBO-televised title defense at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. In December, Usyk fought on U.S. shores for the first time as a pro, dispatching Thabiso Mchunu in nine rounds at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
So here are the most common betting odds from online sportsbooks: Mike Hunter +1350, Oleksandr Usyk -1200.
As for Usyk, bookmakers do not yet give betting odds for the TKO victory of the Ukrainian. If such are, it would be interesting to see. In the meantime, we smile and wave. The value is with Hunter if you want to place money on this fight, but Usyk should win. You can still place money on a draw - 34 to 1. Hunter deserved it.
