Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora betting preview
Fury and Chisora first met in 2011 when Fury scored an upset win over a befuddled and out-of-his-depth Chisora. They met again three years later with Fury delivering a horrible beating that caused Chisora's corner to stop the fight. With Fury facing issues due to his illicit relationship with crime boss Daniel Kinahan and Oleksandr Usyk wanting to wait until 2023 to fight him, Chisora got the call to make it a trilogy.
We last saw Fury tear right through Dillian Whyte in April. That wipeout win saw Fury bludgeon Whyte for six rounds before stopping him, looking monstrous in the process and confirming his status as the main man at heavyweight.
Fury has stopped four of his last five opponents and his average fight time during that stretch has been 7.6 rounds. Since partnering up with Sugar Hill Steward, Fury has become an aggressive puncher who uses his size and deceptive speed to close the distance and wear his foes out. As it is, Fury is a technically gifted boxer who has embraced his power lately.
Chisora has been the division's toughest journeyman for a long time and he has fought everyone. Unfortunately for him, he's lost all of his important ones and is starting to show some accelerated wear and tear. To his credit, Chisora snapped a three-fight skid by slightly outpointing Kubrat Pulev last July.
"Del Boy" is a rough customer who can fight dirty and has decent punching power, but hasn't figured Fury out. He's done progressively worse in the previous two encounters, but at 38 with few opportunities left, Chisora has to hope he has something left in what could be the last shot he'll have at a world title.
Nobody doubts that Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, and while this isn't a mega fight with Usyk or even Anthony Joshua, he's entitled to a soft touch once in a while. Chisora is not going to lay down for him, though, and Fury needs to stay focused unless he wants to end up on the wrong side of history.
Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora boxing prediction and best bet
Prediction: Fury ML (-2,500)
There has been no moment in their previous two bouts where Chisora looked comfortable or even competent against Fury. Their last fight was a total wipeout that shut the door on Chisora's title aspirations, and he's just plugged along this far where he's lucked into a shot. Chisora is not too far removed from Joseph Parker putting a pair of lopsided beatings on him, and Fury is levels beyond Parker.
Without sounding pedantic, this fight will last as long as Fury wants it to. There might be a hint of mutual respect between these two, but Fury isn't going to take it easy on Chisora. With all the advantages in Fury's favor, it will take a few miracles for Chisora to somehow pull this off with how bad he's looked of late.
At -2,500, bettors would be wise to look elsewhere. There's no value in betting on the sure thing here.
Prediction: Tyson Fury moneyline (-2,500 at DraftKings)
Best Bet: Fury wins in 7-12 rounds (+165)
Fury and Chisora are both awkward fighters, so expect a lot of jabbing at each other and doing rough stuff on the inside early on. Eventually, Fury will start to wear Chisora down with his size and movement past the halfway point. As Chisora fades in the later rounds, Fury will inevitably drop the hammer on him and end things before the final bell.
We are casting a wide range for Fury to get things done in what should be a wipeout. Take Fury to win by stoppage anywhere between rounds 7 and 12 for a +165 score.
Prediction: Tyson Fury to win in 7-12 rounds (+165 at DraftKings)
