Betting Preview
Tyson Fury
Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion of the world and the lineal heavyweight champion of boxing. He is a British professional boxer with a record of 33-0-1 and 24 wins, coming by KO at the age of 35. Fury was the unified heavyweight title holder from 2015 to 2016 and has won the Ring Magazine belts twice in 2015 and 2022.
“The Gypsy King” is a 6’9″, 280lb orthodox boxer with a reach of an incredible 85″. His stunning physical attributes are what make him such a spectacle inside the boxing ring, even without the world-class ability he possesses.
Francis Ngannou
Ngannou is a Cameroonian-French mixed martial artist with a professional MMA record of 17-3 with 12 KOs and four submissions under his belt as a 37-year-old former UFC heavyweight champion. He’s listed at 6’4″ and has an 83″ reach as he is set to make his professional boxing debut this weekend against arguably the best heavyweight boxer in the world.
Ngannou has made headlines for the last couple of years with his dramatic relationship and contract negotiations with the UFC, and then signing a massive deal with the PFL with a stake in the company and control over the new “super fight” division.
AI Betting Picks
Here is the Fury vs Ngannou prediction AI:
| ODDS | AI BETTING PICKS |
| OVER/UNDER | OVER 5.5 Rounds (-120) |
| MONEYLINE | Tyson Fury (-1250) |
The official Fury vs Ngannou prediction is that Fury will be able to win in whatever fashion he desires. Even if you throw Tyson Fury record and Francis Ngannou height disadvantage out of the window, the pure boxing ability is incredibly one-sided in this matchup.
Even for the casual consumer of this super fight, a few minutes of watching the open workouts this week between the two main event boxing fighters will show you the massive gap in skill that is present in this fight.
Boxing picks are tough to make when there is a massive favorite like this, but the over/under is coming up clutch this weekend. Ngannou will have a good game plan and be ready to go enough that he will be able to survive the first 5.5 rounds of this bout.
But the truth is, this fight is not winnable for Ngannou. It’s the same as if this was inside of the MMA cage–Fury wouldn’t have a shot either.
Boxing and MMA are two completely different sports, and Ngannou is stepping into the boxing ring with arguably the best to ever do it. The “puncher’s chance” doesn’t even really apply here because we have seen Fury take the best shots that a puncher like Wilder had to give him and stand right back up and win.
