Betting odds for Usyk vs Dubois: Usyk heavy favourite

The fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois takes place in Poland on Saturday and the Ukrainian is the big favourite

Daniel Dubois is in Poland for a crunch heavyweight fight on Saturday where he aims to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles from the formidable Oleksandr Usyk.

While both men have commendable records, it is the Ukrainian who has the edge with an impeccable 20-0 record, including an impressive 13 victories by knockout. British challenger Dubois is on 19-1, with a remarkable 18 KOs.

Despite Dubois’ reputation for delivering explosive punches, it has not always guaranteed him victory, as evidenced by his defeat to Joe Joyce. Consequently, Usyk is heavily favoured to emerge victorious on Saturday night.

The undefeated Ukrainian is a commanding 1/12 favourite to win this fight, while Dubois is priced at 7/1 to pull off a momentous upset in the heavyweight division.

Bookmakers offer odds of 4/9 for Usyk to win by KO, TKO or disqualification, with the same bet priced at 8/1 for Dubois. Additionally, the odds for a draw or technical draw are 20/1.

Why Usyk merits favourite status

As a professional, Usyk has remained unbeaten, having secured the undisputed cruiserweight world titles before moving up to heavyweight and once again becoming a champion.

While the Ukrainian has previously beaten Chazz Witherspoon, Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua twice in the glamour division, he is still yet to face someone with as much power as Dubois.

Usyk has enjoyed two back-to-back victories over Joshua in recent years and that should stand him in good stead for this fight, with his undefeated record unlikely to be under too much pressure.
