Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder Odds & Betting Pick (2021)
When Tyson Fury -290 steps into the ring on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV, he’ll be doing so knowing the kind of power he’s going against and the ramifications of one false move. The underdog in Saturday’s match, Deontay Wilder +230, has the knockout power that has been said to be the hardest the sport has ever seen as the 6’7″ Bronze Bomber has only ever lost to one man; Tyson Fury.
In the third fight between the two, one a draw and one a TKO victory for Fury, Wilder comes into this one looking to get his belt (and respect) back from the Englishmen in Fury, who has no intention of giving him either one.
Let’s take a closer look.

In Wilder’s 7th round loss to Fury back in February 2020, his team threw in the towel after watching him get pummeled for consecutive rounds over the clearly more talented and prepared Fury who dominated the entire fight. Heading into this one, Wilder has switched up his regimen, starting with a new trainer in Malik Scott, a former rival turned friend and someone he calls a “genius.â€
While Scott was a great boxer in his time, this is his first time as a trainer, and he will be thrown into the fire right away against one of the most skilled tacticians in the game in Fury. If Wilder has any chance in this one, look for him to establish his jab and if that powerful right hand can connect, let’s just say there’s a reason all but one of his 42 victories have come via KO.
For the heavy favorite Fury, who top to bottom is the more skilled and talented of the two from a technical standpoint, another master class in boxing is expected to be on the menu Saturday night in Las Vegas. He also has proved to have one of the best chins the sport has ever seen, and if he’s mentally where he was in the last fight, I don’t see a scenario the outcome changes.
Bottom Line
Most people who watched the last fight between these two would argue it shouldn’t have even made it the 7th round, as Fury dominated all seven rounds and simply made Wilder looked like an amateur opponent for much of the night. Additionally, the first time these two fought, Fury got off the mat multiple times to force the draw, something Wilder still likely hasn’t mentally bounced back from.
While I expect a more refined and prepared Wilder, I do expect the outcome to be the same and for Fury to adjust on the fly as he does with the best of them for any changes in Wilder’s game.
