Although the fight hasn't been officially announced, many bookmakers have already started providing odds on it, indicating the heavyweights' interest in the contest. As a result, it now seems inevitable that Fury will end his recent "retirement" and make a comeback because the Ukrainian has earned the right to take on the Gipsy King in the ring.
Fury, who put Deontay Wilder down permanently in Las Vegas to establish himself as a heavyweight great, has the reach, the support of the majority of the betting public, and a wider spectrum of boxing expertise in his corner.
Usyk, who lacks Fury's menacing height and reach, may have a sense of destiny because the battle will take place against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. However, oddsmakers don't take into account these facts.
The victor of the Fury vs. Usyk battle will be become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis achieved the accomplishment in 1999 by defeating Evander Holifield.
Combining these elements might result in a great night for gaming businesses without needing the typical Las Vegas atmosphere.
Fury is currently the favourites to face Usyk at 4/7, according to the latest odds from Sky Bet. US bookmaker FanDuel has already backed Fury, giving the British fighter American odds of +200 while giving Usyk odds of -250.
