Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will be an outsider and in a rematch with the WBC title holder Tyson Fury, however, less hopeless.
On October 28, at a boxing event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the star mixed martial arts fighter made his professional boxing debut, losing to one of the heavyweight leaders in a close decision. At the same time, the Cameroonian seriously put the skeptics to shame, showing a decent performance and even scoring a knockdown in the third round.
If the fighters have a rematch, then you can bet on Fury’s victory with odds of 1.25. The same indicator in favor of Ngannou is 4.
Let us note that before the first fight, experts had much less faith in the Cameroonian: they gave 5.60 for his success, and only 1.15 for Fury.
