Tyson”Gypsy King” Fury returns to the ring Around September 14, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to defend his WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title against Otto Wallin.
The Brit, Fury, is a tremendous -2500 favorite against the Sweden native, Wallin, who is coming back in +1000.
Once more, Fury has apparently hand-chosen his next stepping stone since the out-of-ring negotiations to get a rematch with Deontay Wilder continue. Because his return last June, the Gypsy King had two warm-up bouts with Sefer Seferi along with Francesco Pianeta before the first battle with Wilder that ended in a split-decision lure.
Fury returned into the ring at June and demolished Tom Schwarz and fights another relatively unknown Otto Wallin. The odds are closer than Schwartz if Fury closed at -5000, but the idea is still the same.
Meanwhile, Wallin enters the ring as a underdog for the second time in his last few fights since he was a slight dog vs Adrian Granat last August where Wallin scored the unanimous decision win. The Sweden native does carry a 20-0 record with him but his opponents have a combined 259 losses.
Fury put on a tremendous screen against Tom Schwartz, setting the Germany native away from the next round after displaying his outstanding defensive skills. The Brit could be one the very greatest true fighters at the heavyweight division with tremendous head motion and footwork while also having long rigid jabs that maintain his rivals at bay.
Wallin is a competitive fighter that puts down his head and goes to work early in conflicts. The southpaw does a great job projecting hands into the body to try and slow his foes and he searches for that liver to put them off. While there is a great deal of promise for your 28-year-old, this is a enormous step up in competition and as mentioned above, this is primarily another tune-up struggle for Fury because he preps for the Wilder rematch early 2020.
Prediction: Tyson Fury (-2500) via knockout
