Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Betting Odds, PPV Price, & Prediction
Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou is upon us, and it's time to dive into some late betting odds.
Fury, the WBC heavyweight titleholder, will meet former UFC heavyweight king Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Saturday (October 28). It will be a massive fight for Ngannou, and it figures to be quite lucrative for "The Predator." As for Fury, his team has already announced a title unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk, leading some to believe "The Gyspy King" might be overlooking Ngannou.
Fury has insisted he is training just as hard for Ngannou as he has for any other boxer. The fight world is mostly expecting this to be target practice for Fury. Just how wide are the odds? Lets dive in.

Fury vs. Ngannou Prediction
It's no secret that Fury has the clear edge when it comes to boxing experience. He's a world champion with a record of 33-0-1. He also has 24 knockouts to his credit.
Ngannou, on the other hand, has zero pro boxing experience. Some who are giving Ngannou a chance compare him to Deontay Wilder, but this is off-base. On the surface, it may seem like Wilder is all power, but he's far more well-versed in the "sweet science" than Ngannou. Wilder knows about pacing and shot selection for boxing matches, Ngannou does not.
Perhaps the only thing that could throw Fury off in this fight would be awkward movement and punches from Ngannou given the MMA background. Ngannou not biting on feints could also be an issue for "The Gypsy King," but I think these will be temporary annoyances for Fury, at best.
Ultimately, I see Tyson Fury giving fans a show until he decides to put Francis Ngannou away.
