Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury latest odds: Best bets, tips and predictions
A year ago, Tyson Fury has weighed around 29 stones, his license box was lifted, and he vacated his three world heavyweight titles. Twelve months later, he made a remarkable return to the top and started a confrontation with Anthony Joshua, a sports superstar.
Fury did not face the right test after making his career's best performance to defeat Oldimir Klitschor in Germany in 2015, but he is looking surprisingly sharp sharp sharp in this year's fight for his return, and at the age of 30 there are still plenty of tanks left in the tank.
Furry's training camps are functioning well, shows a much more physical and mental shape than them, and some fighters should agree in the same way as Irisman, should not question his skills inside his fingers.
His rival, Do not Wonders won the WBC 2015 title and became the first American heavyweight champion for almost a decade and cut a swim through this division, winning 40 of 40 fatal fights. The fighting style will feature a fascinating clash. Beat the boxer hunter?

It’s clear from a bookmakers’ perspective who is most likely to finish the bout early, with Fury a best-priced 100/1 to win in the first round and 12/1 to be victorious in the first six rounds, while the biggest price about Wilder winning before any fighter has sat on his stool is 33/1. He is just 4/1 to taste glory in the first half of the fight.
There will be plenty of punters backing Wilder to strike early, with the unbeaten American failing to stop only one of his opponents. However, the vast majority of his bouts have been against shorter men with shorter reaches and, while he will have undoubtedly sparred with some giants in the build-up to this, it is not hard to envisage that he might take a few rounds to size up the man in the opposite corner.
Halfway house
Wilder does not have the acumen to outskill Fury but the power he possesses means he will pose a threat at every moment in every round, and it is interesting to note that the American is shortest in price to win the fight during rounds 5-8 (round five 20/1, round six 16/1, round seven 16/1 and round eight 20/1).
If the fight is to finish during this period, Wilder is again the man most likely to have his hands raised in the centre of the ring, but it also might be worth noting that he has looked most under threat of losing during this period, barely surviving a seventh-round onslaught in his last fight with Luis Ortiz.
If Wilder has not found a way past Fury’s stiff jab and is finding him elusive to hit, he could start to be feeling desperate as the fight enters the latter stages.
