The best part of the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk saga is that the first clash brought almost no answers.
Both boxers had the advantage at different stages of the fight, and accordingly, the final decision was not unanimous.
We now have 12 rounds of stats between them, and expectations for the rematch are similar.
Bookmakers have taken advantage of the situation and offer various unusual betting options with boosted odds.

Both fighters to land 150+ punches each in the fight boosted to 2/1
Sky Bet have definitely analysed the statistics from the first clash and now offer one of the most attractive markets for the rematch with boosted odds. Both fighters to land 150+ punches was originally priced at 7/4 but is now available at 2/1.
What makes this a top pick? Usyk landed 170 punches and Fury landed 157 in the first fight. The whole world expects another full 12 rounds between them, so their stats will be close.
Usyk to win by split decision has never looked better at 10/1
We all watched the first fight or at least know how it ended. Usyk won by a split decision after 114-113, 113-114, and 115-112. If Fury had won one more round, he would have been the champion now.
Fury will be even harder to knock out now as he is much heavier than he was during the first clash. A split decision is highly probable again regardless of who wins and Betfred have the best offer at 10/1.
