How to Bet on Boxing 🥊

Boxing is one of the oldest and most popular combat sports in the world, and Saudi Arabia has recently become a global hub for hosting major fights, such as the Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk bout in 2022, in addition to events featuring Francis Ngannou. With the growth of sports betting, boxing betting has become one of the most attractive markets for bettors due to the variety of betting options and the potential for high returns. 🥊

The simplest type of boxing bet is predicting who will win the fight. You can also bet on a draw, although it is rare.

Example of a boxing winner bet:

• Boxer 1 -250
• Boxer 2 +185

If you bet $250 on the favorite (-250), you will win $100.

If you bet $100 on the underdog (+185), you will win $185 if he wins. 🥊

You predict whether the fight will end:

• Over 7.5 rounds
• Under 10.5 rounds

If you bet on Over 7.5, the fight must reach at least the 8th round for you to win. This type is common in closely matched fights. 🥊

There are two options only in this type of online boxing bet:

• Yes: The fight is decided by the judges’ decision.
• No: The fight ends by KO (knockout) or TKO (technical knockout).

If you predict “No” and the fight ends with a knockout, you win the bet. 🥊

In this type of boxing bet, it does not matter who wins the fight, the important thing is that the event happens. You can bet on:

1. Will a boxer be knocked down?
2. Number of knockdowns
3. Will both boxers be knocked down? 🥊

This market offers higher odds because it is more specific. All you have to do is predict and bet on how the boxer will win:

• KO (Knockout)
• TKO (Technical Knockout)
• Judges’ Decision
• Disqualification 🥊

You predict the round in which the fight will end, and this type offers very high returns.

Example:

If you predict that the boxer will win in round 5 and it happens, you win.

Any other result means the bet is lost. 🥊

⭐ Understand Boxers’ Styles

Understanding the fighting style helps you choose round bets or method of victory bets. Boxers are usually divided into:

1. Slugger: relies on power and knockouts
2. Outboxer: relies on speed and distance
3. Boxer-Puncher: balanced style
4. Swarmer: constant close pressure

⭐ Analyze the Boxer’s Level

Here you simply need to review:

1. Recent results
2. Previous opponents
3. Time away from the ring
4. Possible injuries

⭐ Follow the News Before the Fight

News about weight cuts, injuries, or training camp issues may affect performance.

⭐ Do Not Bet Emotionally

Avoid betting just because you like a certain boxer. Analysis is more important than support.

⭐ Bankroll Management in Online Sports Betting

Set a clear betting budget, and do not try to recover losses quickly.
