Boxing has always offered high drama and great box office appeal from the golden days of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, right through to the present day where world class pugilists battle it out in rings across the globe. As the sport continues to thrive, the boxing betting markets are more active than they have ever been and there is lots to consider across our websites.
Boxing is one of the simplest sports to predict with a win for either fighter the most likely outcome. Don’t forget there is also the option of a draw but these are very rare in this sport and will tend to be listed at around the 33/1 mark – very lucrative on the occasions when they do come in.
For some of the bigger world title fights involving the big names such as Anthony Joshua and George Groves, the list of boxing betting side markets can expand to include the type of win – knock out, technical knock out, point win etc, and you may also be able to speculate on the round when the bout will actually finish.
Boxing is a unique sport in the sense that no-one knows who is really winning until the final bell and the judges declare their scorecards. Of course, there can be a knockdown or a stoppage but if the bout goes right up until the final bell, nobody can be certain as to who has actually won it.
That makes live boxing betting a particularly interesting phenomenon but even if you are staking in the ante post markets, this can make for a more interesting spectacle when you are actually watching the fight take place.
Shocks can be rare so some of the pre-match result betting can be easier to call and that’s attractive too. But when two evenly matched fighters step into the ring then the drama will intensify and taking a bet can just make the action that much more thrilling.
