Professional British boxer Tyson Fury is a one-time heavyweight world champion. Having earned the title in 2015 after beating Wladimir Klitschko, a boxing legend but then being stripped of it just 10 days later. The big question for this year is whether or not Fury will be taking on Anthony Joshua and, if so, what are the odds on a Tyson Fury win.
What Should I Know About Tyson Fury?
Born in 1988, Tyson Fury is sometimes known as the Gypsy King because of his Irish Traveller descent. Fury has held both the Ring and WBC magazine titles since 2020 after defeating Deontay Wilder, but even before that, he had a host of titles to his name, including the IBO, WBO, IBF, and unified WBA Super. Since December 2020, he has been ranked as the best active heavyweight in the world. Despite his problems with recreational drug use and alcoholism, he has turned his performance around, earning the title of Comeback of the Year after his impressive draw against Wilder.
Will Fury Fight with Joshua?
The next fight that everybody appears to be waiting for is one against Anthony Joshua. Although nothing has yet been confirmed, every sportsbook has been examining their Tyson Fury fight odds in eager anticipation of the bout. Will the fight take place, though? Anthony Joshua certainly believes that it will, as do Bob Arum, Frank Warren, and Eddie Hearn, so it seems very likely that it’s more a question of when than if the match will go ahead.
Why Is Tyson Fury the Favourite?
When it comes to the latest Fury betting odds, it certainly seems as though the Gypsy King is the firm bookie’s favorite, and it isn’t hard to see why. After his spectacular comeback against all the odds, Fury has shown that his fighting spirit is far from gone. Not only that, but he’s arguably a better boxer than Joshua, so it’s no wonder that he looks like he’s coming out on top if and when the bout goes ahead.
