Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou odds: Gypsy King to breeze through

Saudi Arabia is ready for Saturday night’s huge fight as heavyweight behemoth Tyson Fury prepares to fight former MMA champion Francis Ngannou in a regulation professional boxing bout.

The Gypsy King’s WBC heavyweight title will not be on the line in the bout but there will be a trophy awarded for the winner – the Riyadh Champion belt.

Fury comes into the fight on the back of two stoppage victories, the first a TKO against Dillian Whyte and the second a 10th-round TKO over Derek Chisora last December.

Ngannou himself has a strong record in the UFC world and won the heavyweight championship in 2021 before defending his belt in 2022. 

The Cameroonian-French fighter has since left UFC and signed with the PFL, in a deal that allows him to box and so face the irrepressible Fury.

It is clear to see why the unbeaten Brit is a huge 1/14 favourite, while challenger Ngannou is 8/1 to pull off what would be one of the biggest upsets in boxing history when the two meet on Saturday evening.

Odds of 2/11 are available for Fury to win by KO, TKO or disqualification, while the same bet is priced at 9/1 for Ngannou. A draw or technical draw is 40/1.

Fury favourite in Ngannou challenge

It is set to be another exciting fight when these two meet in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening, with a big crowd expecting Fury to earn a further victory and prove why he can compete against anyone in the world. 

The Gypsy King will face a different test this time around, with Ngannou likely to have different abilities and qualities compared with his regular opponents. However, Fury’s strength is expected to see him through.

This is reflected in the odds as he is priced as short as 2/11 to win by KO, TKO or disqualification whereas Ngannou is a huge 8/1 to win by KO, TKO or disqualification.

If you expect the fight to go the distance you can get odds of 5/1 on Fury to win by a decision or technical decision, compared with 66/1 for Ngannou achieving one of those outcomes.

The former UFC heavyweight champion has a strong history in combat sports and should not be underestimated. But a top-level heavyweight in the shape of Whyte was unable to land a blow on Fury, demonstrating how difficult the fight is going to be for Ngannou.
