Here we go again. The first time Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk went to battle, a lot of people were stunned that Usyk was able to come out on top. Now, though, Fury has revenge on his mind, as the two heavyweight brawlers are ready to dance once again later this month. Who will post a win? Leading up to things, Oleksandr Usyk is favored to beat Tyson Fury in their rematch.
This is a bout that people have had circled on their calendars for quite some time. These are two of the best fighters in the world and the fact that they're heavyweights only adds to the intrigue of things. Fury is hoping to remind people of how dominant he can be. On the other side of things, Usyk is also quite confident he'll take down Fury for the second time, but Fury is ready to prevent that.
| Boxing odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usyk to win | -180 | -180 | -180 |
| Fury to win | +150 | +150 | +150 |
| Over 10.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 10.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
“He could’ve punched me with that punch (haymaker) a million times, it may not have had any effect," Fury said in a recent interview. "But, you know, he punched me and he had an effect and that was great for him, but you had your little chance to knock me out, didn’t ya — couldn’t do it, could ya? Hit me with 10 shots in a row and couldn’t do it."
According to the best sports betting sites, Usyk holds -180 boxing odds to be victorious. Fury is the underdog with his +150 odds. We have a feeling this is going to be a close one. It will be interesting to see how things play out. With all of that said, we're going with Usyk as our pick. We think he'll be able to do enough to keep Fury at bay.
🗣️"Oleksandr Usyk is an all-time kind of fighter and, I think, rightfully the favorite going into that December rematch."

The under for rounds should hit between Fury and Usyk in their rematch
Looking at things as a whole, the under for rounds should hit between Fury and Usyk in their rematch. This might come as a bit of a surprise for some people, as some analysts think this fight will go the distance. The first time they put the gloves on, the fight went the full 12 rounds, with Usyk winning by a split decision.
This time around, however, Usyk is going to want to take care of business early. The longer this fight lasts, the more of a risk there is of Fury catching steam and landing a haymaker on him when his legs are tired. This is something Usyk wants to avoid at all costs. Fury has unreal power and he's ready to land plenty of huge blows on his opponent.

“No, I don’t regret anything. Why would I regret that? Listen, it was a close fight, Usyk got the raise, like he just said. He won the fight, fair play to him," Fury said on their first battle. "Don’t make excuses, the man beat me on the night, fair play. I believe I won the fight, that’s my opinion, but he got his hand raised and I congratulated him.”
Per the best boxing betting sites, the over/under for rounds has been set at 10.5. If you ask us, this feels a bit high, but it just goes to show how confident some people are in this fighting going all the way. While it wouldn't be a surprise in the slightest for that to happen, something tells us Usyk will end this one early. We're going with the under for rounds as our pick.
Will Oleksandr Usyk win this fight via a knockout?
A big question people have on their minds is will Oleksandr Usyk win this fight via a knockout? The last time these two faced off, Usyk was able to land some brilliant punches on Fury, but he wasn't able to close things out in style.
It goes without saying, but he's hoping to change that this time around. Fury has been toying with Usyk in pre-fight interviews, which will only make things interesting for when they finally get inside of the ring. Usyk is clearly annoyed by all of the trash talk.
Per the oddsmakers, Usyk holds +330 odds to win via a TKO. Fury is hoping to win by the same result, but we don't see it happening. We're going with a Usyk TKO as our pick.
