Gladiators Odds 2025: Who Will Win The Second Series?

The Gladiators finale will air on Saturday night, and there is an incredibly tight men's and women's outright market on the best betting sites. 

In last weekend's second semi-final, Mus Dumbuya defeated Nathan Bland in the men's Eliminator, and Zavia Hill saw off strong competition from Aneila Afsar in the women's contest - but there was a huge twist. 

After the episode, it was announced that Zavia had to withdraw from the contest after picking up an injury in the semi-final.

Asked when she realised she wouldn't be able to compete in the final, the devastated star said: "During the Gauntlet, I knew my time on the show was probably over - I was devastated!

"I got very emotional after I realised I'd hurt my leg as bad as I did. 

"When I got home and the adrenaline had worn off, I realised I could hardly move my leg but on the plus side, I got to watch the final from the front row and cheer both of my friends on."

Aneila admitted it was a "bittersweet" way to reach the final, and she had "lots of mixed emotions" about progressing in such fashion.

She said: "Anyone who’s been following the show knows how badly I wanted to make it to the final, but this isn’t the way I wanted to get there. At the same time, I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity and so excited for what’s ahead.

"Zavia is an incredible contender and an even better person. It’s an honour to represent her and I’ll actually be wearing some of her gems in the final."

Aneila Vs Amanda Rematch 

The news came after Zavia had defeated Aneila in the Eliminator, despite being injured. 

Aneila had a one-second head start going into the Eliminator, but Zavia had caught up by the rope. 

It looked to be all over for Aneila after getting stuck on the rope and then finished second to Zavia, who had looked in pain throughout the Eliminator. 

Afterwards, Aneila admitted she was "disappointed" to have lost out.

Despite her injury, Zavia recorded her fastest ever Eliminator time.

However, with Zavia retiring hurt ahead of the final, Aneila has set up a re-match with Amanda Wah, who defeated her by a few seconds in the women's second quarter-final earlier in the series. 

Amanda heads into the final as the narrow 4/6 favourite on betting apps, while Aneila is a 6/4 chance.

Record-Breaker Mus 

Ahead of the men's finale, Mus set a new Eliminator record by two seconds in the second semi-final. 

He completed the Eliminator in just 57 seconds, overcoming the previous record of 59 seconds, which was set by his semi-final opponent Nathan. 

Mus gave himself a huge advantage during the events when he amassed a six-second head start over Nathan, after earning 12 points more.

During the Eliminator, Nathan looked to be gaining on Mus, but he misjudged his leap onto the cargo net.

After that, it was always going to be a huge challenge to catch his record-breaking opponent.

Commentator Guy Mowbray said the pair were two of the quickest contenders the competition has "ever seen", and it would've been a worthy final match up. 

Afterwards, Nathan said he'd had the time of his life, but he just "wasn't good enough" on the day.

Following his Eliminator exploits, Mus admitted he always knew he had it in him to secure such a speedy victory, and said Nathan had brought out the best in him.

He is now 10/11 favourite to win this year's men's contest, just ahead of 11/10 shot Joe Fishburn, who he will face in Saturday night's finale.
