  • Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov props are live to bet ahead of tonight’s championship bout.
  • My favorite prop to target is Fury by knockout to win the fight.
  • Check out the best Fury vs Makhmudov prop bets and odds – including will Fury get that KO.

The Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov fight is being tagged as a battle between the old warrior and a bit of a reclamation project. It seems poetic that the bout occurs in the stadium where Tottenham Hotspur plays. The loser of this bout will be relegated one way or the other. 

Fury, the former World champion, is a huge favorite on the moneyline, now at -600 on DraftKings (-650 via FanDuel and Caesars). There are even more options depending on the props when it comes to better odds. Thankfully, that props market always delivers for us when we need it the most.

Here are some Fury vs Makhmudov prop bets and odds for this main event.

Given the updates, the numbers lean heavily on Tyson Fury to win in yet another return. It appears going too bold is not a viable strategy, but as far as a knockout, this is one to take a chance with Fury at -165 via DraftKings. Makhmudov will likely not grind out a decision in the championship rounds. That is the idea.

The public craves intrigue and drama. That is where Fury reigns supreme in the heavyweight division. Online sportsbooks saw Fury’s moneyline numbers go down to -550 on the moneyline, but have moved back since. Again, seeing those late Caesars and FanDuel numbers makes one wonder.

Fury vs Makhmudov Total Rounds Props

Round BetOdds
Over 8.5 Rounds-130
Under 8.5 Rounds-105

Yes, as Brady Trettenero wrote earlier on Saturday, there is something obvious to consider. Fury towers over Makhmudov. He is four inches taller and holds a whopping nine-inch reach advantage. Fury can utilize that powerful jab to set up the bigger, power shots. Makhmudov has been knocked out in two of his previous five fights, and even against David Allen, he looked pretty vulnerable. 

I believe the Under is winning the rounds props without hesitation. At -105, it surprises me that the number is so close to Even here. Maybe it gets there by fight time, but right now, take it and run quickly.

You will have a touch argument that a unanimous decision is worth a shot. This fight will be entertaining, but I like Fury in the middle rounds if he can connect early against Makhmudov. Fury will come in with a load of adrenaline and he will want to be more active than his last two fights against Oleksandr Usyk. Expect something more than single-digit punches landed per round, especially early. 

Even More Fury vs Makhmudov Bets

Honestly, there are several more options to consider when betting on this fight. As we mentioned, if Fury wins, we believe in an early outcome, and if Makhmudov wins, it will again not go close to the distance. Makhmudov has nabbed 13 of his 19 knockouts very early. The 36-year-old has his own cracking jab and some hard uppercuts and hooks. With the heavyweight division, sometimes it feels like anything can happen.

Bluntly, Fury cannot play around here. A KO for the Gypsy King between Rounds 4-6 is rolling in at +450, while the early Rounds 1-3 is now only +1000. The chances of a Fury decision seem to be all but faded, but again, the same can be said about Makhmudov. If one is wondering about the Under of 7.5 rounds, that is currently +130. The other straight option is Tyson Fury by KO at +230. I would ponder that as well. 

Do not forget that Netflix carries the fight and the whole card too. And the two pugilists will get into the ring around dinnertime on the East Cost (before 11pm London time). One last possible wager is a fun one. Makhmudov could get knocked down very early. At +275 via DraftKings, one can play this a little safe with an early knockdown of either fighter within the first three rounds. 

I believe Tyson Fury will get that early knockout he craves on Saturday night. Good luck tonight, and let’s rumble!
