Boxing Odds

Boxing is one of the most bet on sports in Britain and across the world as many people love a flutter on bouts worldwide. From the major heavyweight title fights that gain massive press coverage to club fights, money changes hands as punters back the boxers who they feel are going to emerge victorious. But you are not only restricted to betting on the outright winner, you can also bet on a variety of different outcomes such as round by round betting, whether a knockout will happen and in what round that knockout will come. That results in people betting on a whole range of outcomes on all fights in all weight categories including light heavyweight, super middleweight and light welterweight and as always some punters will go home happy and others will be left rueing their bets.

Boxing is a highly popular sport to bet on due to the one-on-one nature of boxing bouts and they will always attract big crowds of betting customers. And the place where the major fights take place in modern times is also the home of gambling, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The World Heavyweight title fight remains the most watched and most bet on boxing event, but if a certain Welterweight title fight took place in the near future between two modern legends of the sport then it would be sure to break all betting records in the sport’s history. American Floyd Mayweather Jr and Filipino Manny Pacquiao are two of the best pound for pounds fighters in recent years and if they squared up in Las Vegas then the bout would definitely break all records in terms of television viewing figures and money bet.

Former WBA Welterweight Champion Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton is one of Britain’s most successful and popular boxers in recent years and supporters of the Mancunian have backed him with their wallet as well as their fanatical support. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that Hatton has been at the heart of boxing becoming more popular as a sport but also as an event to bet on in Britain. In WBA World Heavyweight Champion David Haye and WBA World Light Welterweight Champion Amir Khan, Britain now has two further boxers who will earn more support for boxing in the UK and the money that is spent on boxing betting will only increase ringside and on the internet.

Bodog is one site where you can bet on all the upcoming events and the internet allows punters to bet on almost any fight across the world from the comfort of their own home. Hundreds of thousands of pounds is sure to change hands in Britain on boxing events in the near future, especially in two upcoming fights. The Super Middleweight bout between Britain’s WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler in April is part of the Super 6 World Boxing Classic, a boxing event on which you can bet on the outright winner of the tournament as well as the individual fight winners. Whilst David Haye’s first defence of his WBA Heavyweight title against John Ruiz in April is another eagerly anticipated event in which boxing and sports fans will certainly fancy a flutter.
