Tyson Fury, arguably the lone yet lovable shining star in contemporary boxing, has been gearing up to return to the ring for a 10-round main event match this Saturday, where he will clash against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
While Fury's WBC and lineal heavyweight titles will not be on the line, his unblemished record and esteemed reputation certainly are.
Despite Ngannou lacking professional boxing experience, his rapid learning curve and potent one-punch knockout ability have been praised by trainers, making him a potential threat.
A victory would go down as one of the most remarkable upsets in the annals of boxing history, but the odds don't suggest a miracle outcome.
That said, SportsBetting.ag has significant liability on a Ngannou victory. As we often see with these types of one-sided matches where an MMA fighter is clearly outclassed by a professional boxer (see Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather), there are plenty of bettors willing to put their money on the longshot.
Currently, 76% of the handle is on Fury with 24% coming back on Ngannou. But that underdog liability can add up quickly when you're talking about 7-1 odds.
For the fight round total, 60.4% is currently on the OVER 5.5 rounds.
