WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has opened as a huge betting favorite over Francis Ngannou after ‘The Gypsy King’ suggested the matchup following his stunning knockout victory over Dillian Whyte on Saturday.
Fury, who invited Ngannou into the ring following the fight, has opened as a -1500 favorite with Ngannou listed as a massive +750 underdog (h/t BetOnline).
These opening odds shouldn’t come as a surprise in light of Fury’s latest victory. The undefeated heavyweight thrashed Whyte at London’s Wembley Stadium to cement his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time and most certainly the greatest heavyweight of his era.
