Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury Betting Tips

Seven months after they shared a ring for the first time, heavyweight stars Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury go head-to-head when they compete in their rematch in Riyadh.

Usyk made history in May as he became the modern era's first four-belt heavyweight champion, beating Fury on points via a split decision.

The Ukrainian remains unbeaten as a professional and handed Fury his first defeat in May, and the Manchester fighter has vowed to avenge that first setback in style.

Usyk Remains The Man To Beat

Usyk has won all 22 of his fights to date, winning 14 of those by stoppage.

The former Olympic Gold medallist was one of the world's best amateurs, winning medals at numerous Championships. 

He turned professional in 2013 and within 10 fights he had won his first world title, beating Krzysztof Glowacki for the WBO cruiserweight crown.

Usyk's skillset has proven too much for the likes of Marco Huck, Mairis Briedis, Murat Gassiev, Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Fury. Even at 37, he looks fit and ready to continue at the very top of the sport.

The former undisputed cruiserweight world champion is a master at adapting to his opponent in fights, and he makes his rivals make mistakes due to his relentless pressure.

In his first fight against Fury, Usyk waited until the Briton relaxed and started showboating before landing a crisp one-two which could have ended the fight.

Usyk is unlikely to have the one-punch knockout power needed to stop the Gypsy King, but he has the boxing IQ to stay out of trouble and collect another famous win.

Fury has vowed to send Usyk into retirement and, while he may mean that, he is facing one of the best boxers of his generation.

In his trilogy against Deontay Wilder, Fury proved how good he is and he is certainly one of the best boxers in recent memory, but he has often made mistakes.

Against lesser opponents, that is not such an issue, but against Usyk he will be punished and, if he is behind on the cards, he will struggle to regain the advantage against a man who seems to improve as fights go on.

Usyk has outclassed every single opponent he has faced since 2013, but as a natural cruiserweight he will struggle to stop Fury.

Fury is expected to come in heavier on the scales as he tries to find an advantage and that extra weight should help him take Usyk's best shots.

The two fighters put on a real show in their first meeting and fans should be in for another treat, but do not be surprised if the outcome is the same.
