Tyson”Gypsy King” Fury returns to the ring Around September 14, in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to defend his WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title against Otto Wallin.
The Brit, Fury, is a enormous -2500 favorite against the Sweden indigenous, Wallin, who is coming back in +1000.
Once more, Fury has apparently hand-chosen his next stepping stone as the out-of-ring negotiations for a rematch with Deontay Wilder continue. Because his return last June, the Gypsy King had just two warm-up bouts with Sefer Seferi along with Francesco Pianeta prior to the very first fight with Wilder that ended in a split-decision draw.
Fury returned into the ring in June and demolished Tom Schwarz and now fights another relatively unknown Otto Wallin. The odds are closer than Schwartz if Fury closed at -5000, however, the concept stays the same.
Meanwhile, the Wallin enters the ring as a underdog for the second time in his last few fights since he was a slight puppy versus Adrian Granat past August in which Wallin felt the unanimous decision win. The Sweden native does carry a 20-0 record together with him his opponents have a mixed 259 losses.
Fury put on a tremendous screen against Tom Schwartz, putting the Germany native off in the next round after showing off his outstanding defensive skills. The Brit could be one the best true boxers in the heavyweight division with tremendous head motion and footwork while also getting long rigid jabs that maintain his opponents at bay.
Wallin is an aggressive fighter that places his head down and goes to work early in conflicts. The southpaw really does a good job throwing hands into your own body to attempt to slow his foes and he hunts for this liver to put them away. Even though there’s a whole lot of promise for the 28-year-old, this really is a massive step up in competition and as mentioned above, this is mainly another tune-up struggle for Fury because he preps for the Wilder rematch early 2020.
Prediction: Tyson Fury (-2500) via knockout
