KSI vs. Tommy Fury & Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis Predictions

The KSI vs. Tommy Fury PPV is scheduled for this Saturday, October 14th. It will take place at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The pair of English boxers are one-half of the PPV’s double main event.

Also on this card is the highly anticipated matchup between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. Despite rumors that Danis had dropped out, the Paul vs. Danis fight appears to be on for this Saturday. Boxing betting sites have odds on both bouts for this double main event PPV.

Keep reading to see the latest odds for both KSI vs. Fury and Paul vs. Danis. I will break down the odds for both fights and give you my predictions for each contest.

MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card, better known as KSI vs. Tommy Fury is available on PPV on DAZN. The card is nicknamed Judgement Day, alluding to the storylines surrounding the two main events.

After months of build-up, Fury and KSI will finally square off on October 14th in Manchester, England. Paul vs. Danis will also take place on this card.

This boxing event is taking place in England, so fans in the US will have to adjust to an earlier start time. The event is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. EST. Fury and KSI will go on last, so you can still catch the main event action even if you miss the start of the event on the West Coast.

Here are the latest KSI vs. Tommy Fury betting odds, courtesy of Bovada:

Fury (-360) is, unsurprisingly, the favorite in this bout against KSI (+255). The fight is scheduled to go six rounds. Bovada has the over/under for total rounds set at 4.5 rounds.

You can also bet on the exact round that the fight will end in. The option with the shortest odds is for Fury to win by a decision (+175). KSI winning in the first round (+2800) has the longest odds in that prop bet.

It has been nearly four years since Olajide Olatunji, better known as KSI, made his pro boxing debut. He stepped into the ring with Logan Paul for a rematch of the duo’s amateur fight, which ended in a draw.

KSI won the fight via split decision. He continued his professional boxing journey by taking on other YouTube stars, including Swarmz and FaZe Temperrr.

Nearly all of KSI’s professional fights have taken place in England. KSI’s most recent fight, originally a victory over Joe Fournier, was overturned. After review, it was determined that KSI accidentally struck Fournier with his elbow. 

The no-contest is the only blemish on KSI’s record so far. He will enter Saturday’s bout against Fury with a record of 4-0, 1 NC. His last four fights, though, have technically been exhibitions.

Stepping into the ring with KSI this weekend is Tommy Fury (9-0). The half-brother of Tyson Fury.

Fury made his professional debut in December 2018 with a decision victory over Jevgenijs Andrejevs. He then earned early KO/TKO wins over his next four opponents. His second-round KO of Scott Grant was the last time Fury finished an opponent within the time limit.

All five of Fury’s wins since then, including his victory over Jake Paul, have been by decision. He also fought to a draw with Rolly Lambert in an exhibition boxing match last November.

This weekend’s matchup between Fury and KSI is an opportunity for both fighters to prove doubters wrong. Fury has not been able to finish an opponent in over two years. KSI, on the other hand, has a chance to get a win over a legitimate boxer instead of a YouTuber.

After failing to finish Jake Paul, I think Fury will enter Saturday’s bout with one goal in mind. He will be looking to finish off KSI. Fury only has six rounds to work with, so I think he will be extra aggressive this weekend.

KSI should put up a fight, but I find it hard to imagine him beating Fury this Saturday. I think the best KSI can hope for is a loss by decision.

The following is our favorite KSI vs. Tommy Fury prop bet available at Bovada:

Bovada is one of the best sports betting sites, so it should come as no surprise that it has great prop bets for this weekend’s event in Manchester. This wager, for instance, allows you to pick which round the KSI vs. Fury fight will end in.

As I said above, I think Fury is the one getting his hand raised this Saturday. However, given his recent history, I am not confident that Fury can win this fight without going to the scorecards. I would take Fury by decision (+175) in this prop wager.

The BetTommy Fury by Decision+175

Bovada also has betting odds for the Paul vs. Danis fight:

Danis has been feuding with the Paul brothers on social media for years. Logan Paul will have a chance to settle things with Danis this weekend. Paul (-450) is a heavy favorite to pick up the win this weekend.

This fight will be Paul’s first boxing action since his exhibition draw with Floyd Mayweather. It will also serve as Danis’ debut as a professional boxer.

Logan made his professional debut in his aforementioned loss to KSI in 2019. The only fight that Paul has had since that split decision loss was an exhibition bout against Floyd “Money” Mayweather.

There were no judges for the exhibition, and neither fighter finished the other. So, officially, the exhibition ended in a draw after eight rounds.

Since then, Paul has spent most of his time entertaining WWE bettors. He has competed at several PLEs for the company, including as a participant in this year’s Money in the Bank Match. If nothing else, Paul’s time as a professional wrestler should help his conditioning.

As limited as Paul’s pro boxing experience is, Danis has even less. This main event bout will technically be Danis’s professional boxing debut. He was supposed to fight KSI this past January, but Danis withdrew from the fight.

Danis has never boxed professionally, but he has plenty of experience in other combat sports. He has competed in over a half dozen grappling events with mixed results. Bellator bettors may be familiar with Danis from his two fights with the promotion.

Despite winning both of his pro MMA fights, Danis had limited opportunities to show off his striking skills. Danis earned victories in both of his fights via submission. Those skills will not help him in his boxing debut against Logan Paul. 

Logan Paul has only had two professional boxing matches and exhibitions, and he did not win either of them. However, he did prove he had some skills in the ring when he fought Floyd Mayweather to a draw in an eight-round exhibition.

That draw is a major reason why Paul (-450) is a heavy favorite against Dillon Danis this weekend. If this were an MMA fight, then I would have no doubt that Danis would be getting his hand raised.

Danis did not have a lot of time to showcase his stand-up skills in his two MMA fights. Even if he did, there is a big difference between boxing and MMA boxing.

With all of that in mind, I would stick with the oddsmakers and take Paul (-450) in this one. The payout odds simply do not offer enough value to bet on an underdog making his boxing debut.

KSI and Tommy Fury will get a chance to settle their differences this weekend in Manchester, England. Logan Paul and Dillon Danis will also step into the ring with both fighters searching for their first professional boxing win.
