On Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will face IBF, WBA and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
As of May 13, Fury was a 6-5 favorite at DraftKings sports book, while Usyk was even money. The over-under at DraftKings was 10.5 rounds, with over at -320 and under at +220.
Fury is 34-0-1 and has the physical advantages. He's 6-9 with an 85-inch reach, and will likely weigh as much as 60 pounds more than Usyk, who is 6-3 with a 78-inch reach.
Both are excellent boxers and have beaten elite opposition. Fury's biggest wins were his two stoppages of Deontay Wilder and his unanimous decision victory over Wladimir Klitschko. A former undisputed cruiserweight champion, Usyk's biggest wins are a pair of decision victories over former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
