Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury - Betting Odds, Prediction

Dmytro Reacher Dec. 18, 2024, 11:12 a.m.

Usyk, undefeated with a record of 22-0, faces Fury's extensive experience reflected in his 34-1-1 record.

The Ukrainian fighter turned pro in November 2013, knocking out Felipe Romero in the 5th round. He quickly climbed the ranks, winning the WBO interim Inter-Continental cruiserweight title in 2014 and the WBO cruiserweight title in 2016. Usyk made a successful move to heavyweight in 2020, beating Derek Chisora for the WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title.

Meanwhile, Fury, known as "The Gypsy King," has faced top-tier opponents like Deontay Wilder. Their skills and resilience suggest a closely matched fight that emphasizes strategy and precision.

He's held multiple heavyweight championships throughout his career, including a unified title reign from 2015 to 2016. Fury held The Ring Magazine title twice between 2015 and 2022 and was the WBC champion from 2020 to 2024.

"I'm coming back with a vengeance," Fury said at the press conference. "Usyk caught me off guard last time, but I've learned from my mistakes. This fight will be different."

Usyk responded confidently:

"I respect Fury as a fighter, but I've beaten him once, and I'll do it again. My skills and determination are stronger than ever."

This match-up will likely stretch both fighters to showcase tactics honed across global rings. With both showcasing unbeaten records in recent fights, their endurance in this face-off could be monumental.
