Betting Odds – Tyson Fury remains sizeable favorite over Oleksandr Usyk ahead of potential fight
Off the back of a one-sided, tenth round TKO stoppage win over three-time opponent, Derek Chisora last weekend in London, undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury remains a rather significant betting favorite over WBA, IBO, IBF, and WBO heavyweight kingpin, Oleksandr Usyk.
Forever linked with another all-British fight against former world champion, Anthony Joshua throughout the course of this year, Morecambe native, Fury eventually settled on prior opponent, Chisora, scoring a trilogy title fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend.
Turning in another one-sided display against the title challenger, Tyson Fury improved to 33-0-1 as a professional with an eventual tenth round TKO stoppage win over Chisora, adding to prior notable wins over Dillian Whyte, and a pair of victories against Deontay Wilder in the last two years.
As for Ukraine native, Usyk, the fan-favorite puncher turned in his second consecutive victory over the aforenoted, Joshua earlier this year, landing a clear-cut, split decision win over the Watford native back in August in Saudi Arabia.
The victory propelled Usyk to 20-0 as a professional, having previously defeated Joshua on points, as well as common-foe, Chisora, and cruiserweight veteran, Tony Bellew.

Meeting Usyk head-on with a slew of verbal insults in the immediate aftermath of his stoppage win over Chisora in the pair’s trilogy, Tyson Fury reminded the former of his 2015 unanimous decision win over his compatriot, Wladimir Klitschko
“Where’s Oleksandr Usyk, the rabbit?” Tyson Fury bellowed. “Hey rabbit. Usyk, you’re next, you little b*tch. You’re next, you are next. Me and you, sucker, next. Me and you, you’re getting it, little sucker. Rabbit. P*ssy. Look at him, 15-stone little midget beat a bodybuilder [Anthony Joshua]. Well, I ain’t a bodybuilder, sucker, I’m gonna write you off. I already done one Ukrainian in (Wladimir) Klitschko, didn’t I. And I’ll do you as well, gappy teeth. You ugly little man, you ugly little man. Let’s get it on, b*tch. Let’s get it on.”
Whilst Fury has continually hyped up a potential retirement from the sport of boxing throughout this year, and in the immediate aftermath of his May knockout win over the aforenoted, Whyte – the Morecambe striker maintained that financial implications would not determine his career path – before then admitting, rather strangely, that he would take the fight that would earn him the most money in his next ring walk.
A nine-year professional veteran, Usyk made his heavyweight division move just three years ago, landing back-to-back wins over the above-mentioned, Joshua – after other wins over Chisora, and Chazz Witherspoon.
