Oleksandr Usyk v Anthony Joshua Boxing Preview

We’ve got ourselves a “Rage on the Red Sea” this weekend when Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua II takes place at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Ukrainian fighter is now the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion. And will look to defend all these belts against the man that he defeated in the original bout. With Usyk out boxing his British opponent at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 25 September 2021. And he’s favourite to claim another victory.

Indeed, Joshua went into the autumn fight as the strong favourite to land a victory. Although he was beaten on a unanimous decision and now heads into this match as the betting outsider. With this potentially being a bout that effectively ends his career as a heavyweight challenger should he lose.

Usyk Strong Betting Favourite to Win Rage on the Red Sea

Oleksandr Usyk is clearly made of nails and The Cat has a pre-fight record of 19-0. With the Ukrainian fighter delivering a statement of intent during the early rounds of the clash against Joshua when troubling a fighter who has now experienced two defeats during a largely successful career.

The southpaw is regarded as the 1/2 favourite with the leading boxing betting sites. And some punters will be piling into these odds about an undefeated fighter who was awarded a two-point, four-point and five-point margin of victory by the three judges in England. With the majority of fans feeling that he did more than enough to win the fight. It is worth considering using a Paddy Power cash card for your boxing bet payment method.
