Francis Ngannou opens as betting underdog in potential rematch against Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder favored to be next opponent

Francis Ngannou would be the betting underdog once again if he rematches Tyson Fury.

Ngannou was a massive underdog against Fury, as the Brit was an above -1000 favorite. Many expected Fury to cruise to a win given it was Ngannou’s boxing debut. However, the fight was much closer as Ngannou even dropped Fury, and when the final bell rang, people were split on who won.

Ultimately, it was Tyson Fury who edged out a split decision win over Francis Ngannou to remain undefeated. Now, after the fight, BetOnline.ag released odds for a potential rematch between the two.

Tyson Fury +300
Anthony Joshua +400
Zhilei Zhang +700

Deontay Wilder being the favorite to box Francis Ngannou does make some sense. Wilder is currently without an opponent and Ngannou has mentioned him as a potential opponent in the past. Both are known for their insane KO power, while both have dropped Fury but also lost to him as well.

As of right now, when and who Francis Ngannou will fight again is still to be seen. But, there’s no question Ngannou surprised a lot of people in the boxing world with his performance against Fury on Saturday.
