KSI vs. Fury Betting Analysis
KSI
Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji is an English influence, professional boxer, and musician with a professional boxing record of 4-0, but his actual sanctioned professional record is unknown due to the lack of information on his recent bouts in his own promotion. There isn’t much to analyze in his boxing career–outside of beating Logan Paul, his now good friend and business partner who is on the undercard of this event.
KSI is listed at 6’0” with an impressive 76” reach while fighting out of the orthodox stance. He is 30 years old now and seems to be in the best shape of his life. Every sanctioned fight he’s been in has ended in KO outside of his two fights with Logan Paul.

Tommy Fury
Fury is an English boxer with a professional record of 9-0, with four wins coming by KO at the age of 24. He is the half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and has a long lineage of boxing in his family, and has been around the sport since he could barely walk.
Fury is listed at 6’0” with an outrageously massive reach of 80” for his size. He fights out of the orthodox stance as well and is coming off the biggest win of his career and the biggest payday against Jake Paul. Where he proved that there are levels to boxing no matter how confident someone is.

KSI vs. Fury Betting Preview
Even though this is an odds fight to cover, there’s still a chance to win some money on it. Before arriving at the KSI vs Fury prediction, let’s take a closer look at the betting lines of this bout and break down the film on both guys heading into this weekend.
According to boxing odds, Fury is coming in as the sizeable -400 betting favorite over the +280 KSI. Only a select few sportsbooks are covering this bout for some reason, so keep your eye on that. The over/under is set at 4.5 rounds, and the odds are EVEN for whether or not this fight will make it the 6-round distance.
A Laughable Mismatch?
After watching the tape on both of these guys, the betting lines are kind of laughable. KSI hasn’t been in the ring with a single competent boxer yet. And Fury has an extensive amateur career and nine legit fights professionally.
KSI seems to like to come out fast in a karate-style stance that you would see from fellow Englishman Michael Page in MMA. But KSI doesn’t have half the combat skill. He has his hands down with his mouth wide open, breathing out of it early on, and will throw some very hard punches while jumping into range. In his last fight, the pace slowed down dramatically after the first three minutes.
Fury also has a habit of coming into range with his hands in the wrong place and getting caught clean. But he still has tighter punches and better accuracy. This is a fight where Fury should counterpunch and use his reach advantage over the novice boxer.
KSI vs. Fury Betting Prediction
These guys are not top rank boxing fighters, but it will be a real fight between two guys who want to hurt and embarrass each other in front of the internet. There are a lot of high stakes for a guy like Fury, who is a professional boxer. And someone like KSI, who is a massive star and has never been beaten.
The official KSI vs Fury prediction is simply that Fury will win in whatever way he wants. If he isn’t coming in way out of shape or stupidly unfocused, he will dominate this fight.
- Pick: Fury to win -400
