Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Odds, Form & Best Bets

After two years of hype and talk, Ngannou finally makes his way to the boxing ring to meet with Fury. 

The WBC champion is no doubt one of the best heavyweights of all time, and should he go on to beat the former UFC heavyweight champion and Oleksandr Usyk within these next few months, it would be hard to argue against him being the best-ever.

This will be Ngannou’s first bout in professional boxing, but he does head into this one as a former king of the UFC’s heavyweight division and with a record of 17-3 in MMA, winning 12 of those fights via TKO/KO.

Ngannou has racked up wins over the legendary figures like Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and he most recently beat Cyril Gane back in January of last year.

Let’s take a look at some of our Fury vs. Ngannou picks.

Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Best Bets & Picks

Best Bet #1: Tyson Fury by decision or technical decision (+600) at DraftKings 

From the 33 victories in Fury's career, nine have been via decision. He has managed to defeat the likes of Otto Wallin and the legendary Wladimir Klitschko on points, while he also earned a controversial draw against Deontay Wilder back in 2018 too. 

In our opinion, he won that clash with Wilder, and given the similarities between Ngannou and Wilder, this fight could go a similar way.

Ngannou is arguably the greatest power puncher this world has ever seen. His knockouts over fighters like Miocic and Jairzinho Rozenstruik proved that it doesn’t matter how many punches he throws, it’s simply a case of just one of them landing. 

As a result, Fury could well play the long game and be wary of Ngannou’s power and rack up a points win.

⭐ Pick: Tyson Fury by decision or technical decision (+600) at DraftKings

 


Best Bet #2: Francis Ngannou by KO/TKO/DQ (+850) at Caesars 

Sticking with the idea that Ngannou can knock out any man on planet earth if he lands, we have singled out the +850 bet with Caesars for him to win via KO/TKO/DQ.

Back in 2018, Ngannou registered an overhand right punch of 129,161 units on the PowerKube, breaking the world record for the hardest punch ever recorded. 

So, quite literally, no man in history can hit like he can. He also recorded a reading of 122,000 for his off-balance uppercut punch and 51,064 foot-pounds per second for his speed power, which is roughly equal to a Ford Focus' horsepower.

He’s also knocked out 12 of his opponents in MMA from 20 fights, so if you think he can find a way to land a big punch on Fury, he is +850 to get the TKO/KO.

⭐ Pick: Francis Ngannou by KO/TKO/DQ (+850) at Caesars  

 


Best Bet #3: Tyson Fury to win in round 7 (+800) at BetMGM 

Our top pick for this fight is for Makhachev to win via submission, just as he has done 11 times from his 24 wins, including that famous win over Oliveira.

Although he never officially completed a submission attempt against Volkanovski, by having almost eight minutes of control time and completing four takedowns, it's clear to see what Makhachev was trying.

Volkanovski is no doubt going to be weaker in this fight than the previous, simply due to his lack of a training camp. Considering this, the control time and takedown attempts from Makhachev likely sees him rack up a few submission efforts as well.

Pick: Tyson Fury to win in round 7 (+800) at BetMGM
