Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois betting tips: Best bet and latest odds for fight night

It’s going to take something pretty special from Daniel Dubois on Saturday if he is to end Oleksandr Usyk’s unbeaten record, which stretches back to 2013.

In that time, he has had 23 fights, 23 wins with 14 knockouts, including stoppage wins against Tony Bellew and Dubois first time around.

The pair met back in August 2023, when Usyk secured the knockout in the ninth round in somewhat controversial fashion.

Dubois was judged to have landed a low blow in the fifth round, which floored Usyk, and the Ukrainian was given a maximum of five minutes to recover. He recovered and went on to force the stoppage.

However, after the fight, many voices - including Dubois - questioned the validity of the low-blow decision, and the Brit felt he was robbed of the win.

That was only the second loss of his career, the other one coming against Joe Joyce in 2020, and now he is eying revenge after three wins in a row, including the stoppage win against Anthony Joshua last September.

Despite the controversy and Dubois’ version of events, Usyk dominated every round last time out and has since beaten Tyson Fury twice to further cement his place as the best heavyweight on the planet.

He might be 38, but he is showing no signs of slowing down, and betting boxing sites are all backing the Ukrainian at odds of 1/3, while you can get 3/1 on Dubois and 22/1 on a draw.

While we have no doubt Usyk can go the distance, there are doubts surrounding his British opponent.

Dubois has only gone the distance once, largely due to his explosive power with 21 wins inside the distance, 19 of which have finished inside five rounds.

That said, we can’t see that happening this time around against the quality and movement of Usyk, so we’re backing Usyk to take control and finish the job in the second half of the fight.

If you’re having a bet on the boxing this weekend, it’s vital to practice responsible gambling.

Betting sites can be addictive and it’s important to stay in control of your gambling.

The same can be said if you’re dabbling with casino sites, slot sites, bingo sites, or any other gambling platform.

Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop.

It can be tempting to take up free bet offers or casino bonuses, but we always advise punters to use responsible gambling resources to avoid addiction.

Gambling sites offer customers tools like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help them stay in control. Make best use of these to protect yourself from problem gambling.

If you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don’t hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.
