For example, betting on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 8.5 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">means you need the fight to reach the 9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> round.

Equally, Fury proved to be arguably the most durable man ever, never having been knocked out \u2013 he can go the distance when needed. <\/span><strong>The midpoint markets (rounds 7-10) are likely to be the most contested ones when prices are announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Winning Method<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Method<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Odds<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Tyson Fury by KO \/ TKO<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Tyson Fury by Decision<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Draw<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua by KO \/ TKO<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua by Decision<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018Winning Method\u2019 market breaks the fight down into 5 specific outcomes. The odds are longer than in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winner <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">market because bettors have to guess two things right. They need to identify not just who wins, but how they\u2019re going to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the evidence of both men\u2019s recent fights and overall pedigree, a KO\/TKO outcome is realistic. However, Fury has had his fair share of 12-rounders, so a decision win for either man is also possible. <\/span><strong>With that being said, experts believe that an early settlement for either man is the slightly more likely option.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Will the Fight Go the Distance?<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Yes<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">TBC<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a popular and clear binary market. The question here is: will the judges be needed? Pick \u2018Yes\u2019, and you\u2019re hoping the bout completes all 12 rounds and goes to the scorecards. Contrary, pick \u2018No\u2019 if you believe that either one of the sport\u2019s most powerful heavyweights ends it inside the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Fury having gone the distance in 14 of his 38 fights and Joshua stopping opponents in 26 out of 33 bouts, the <\/span><b>&#8216;No&#8217; option has significant historical backing in AJ\u2019s case specifically<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That said, Fury absorbs damage like no other heavyweight, so do your research and bet responsibly \u2013 within your means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Other Markets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For huge fights, other markets are usually available in the 7bet catalogue. Let\u2019s give a short rundown for each of those:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Winner &amp; Exact Round<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 for bettors who want to test their conviction to the limit, this market might be a suitable choice. It combines the fight winner selection with a specific round prediction. The odds are naturally long given the precision required \u2014 you need to correctly identify both the winning fighter and the exact round in which the fight ends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Winner &amp; Round Group<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 this is a slightly more forgiving version of the above market. This option divides the 12 rounds into groups of 3 or 2 rounds (Rounds 10 &amp; 12 include the decision). You still need to pick the winner correctly, but the round prediction gives you more wiggle room. For example, you back Fury to win in rounds 1\u20133, so any stoppage in the first, second or third round settles the bet in your favour.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>A Fight That Almost Wasn\u2019t: 5 Years in the Making<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of Fury vs Joshua is one of <\/span><b>long-lasting anticipation,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it&#8217;s as much about what didn\u2019t happen as about what did. While they have been compared and pitted against one another by the media for many years, they first circled each other in 2021, when both Fury and Joshua were world champs. Then, a unification clash seemed almost inevitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it never came. <\/span><b>Deontay Wilder exercised a contractual rematch clause against Fury<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, dragging the Gypsy King into a third fight with the American. Then <\/span><b>Joshua lost his belts to Oleksandr Usyk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the dream of undisputed glory evaporated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>negotiations started and stalled repeatedly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ever since. Both men, at various points, publicly blamed the other for the event not happening. After losing to Usyk twice, Fury even retired, while Joshua stepped away from the ring, not being too active.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, as in a classic Hollywood movie, both came back to the ring. Fury dismantled Arslanbek Makhmudov on 11 April 2026 with a Unanimous Decision victory (his first fight in 16 months) and <\/span><b>demanded Joshua in the ring next<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Joshua sat ringside and seemed fuming at the public call-out. Days later, both camps confirmed: the fight is on. Ring magazine called it a \u201cdone deal\u201d for Q4 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has taken the better part of a decade. While no hardware is on the line, ask anyone in British boxing whether it matters \u2014 and the answer is universal \u201cYes\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Tyson Fury \u2013 \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 (35-2-1, 24 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>There is no heavyweight fighter quite like Tyson Fury \u2013 and there probably never will be again<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At 6\u20199\u201d and carrying a frame of 250-280lbs throughout his career, the Gypsy King is the most-decorated British heavyweight of his time and one of the best ever. A 2-time WBC heavyweight champ and the one who derailed Wladimir Klitschko\u2019s reign, Fury has etched his name in the history books. Furthermore, he\u2019s the only one to have pushed Usyk closer than almost anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>His style is very unusual for a man of his size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Contrary to first appearance, Fury is a defensive master. He can roll punches, slip combos and operate on the back foot with a fluidity that\u2019s almost unmatched at heavyweight. He uses his long arms and jabs as a control mechanism to disrupt opponents. The Gypsy King is capable of switching between Orthodox and Southpaw stances on demand. <\/span><b>Over the years, he has also added a more aggressive, pressure-based approach to his repertoire<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That was most evident in the final part of the trilogy vs Wilder, where the Briton dismantled him convincingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against Joshua, Fury will bring the most complete technical toolkit of any opponent that AJ has ever faced. He is 3 inches taller and has an equally big reach advantage. Over the years, the Gypsy King proved he can win by outboxing, attrition and through sheer force, even when the cards are down. <\/span><b>The question is whether, after coming out of retirement, Fury remains motivated enough.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tyson Fury \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Opponent<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Date<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Arslanbek Makhmudov<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">11 April 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (UD)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Oleksandr Usyk (II)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">21 December 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Loss (UD) \u2013 WBC \/ WBO \/ WBA<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Oleksandr Usyk (I)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">18 May 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Loss (SD) \u2013 Undisputed Title<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Francis Ngannou<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">28 October 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (SD)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Derek Chisora<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">3 December 2022<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO R10) \u2013 WBC Title<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Anthony Joshua \u2013 \u2018AJ\u2019 (29-4, 26 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>AJ arrived on the heavyweight scene like no British heavyweight before him<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. An Olympic gold medallist at London 2012 turned pro in 2013 and became World Champ by April 2016 at just 26 years old. The story arc, however, was one filled with historic ups and downs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once he was the unified champ, he sensationally lost to Andy Ruiz Jr., only to get redemption in the rematch. Then came two defeats at the hands of the one and only Usyk and a KO loss to Dubois. Most recently, AJ got some momentum back in a fight that baffled as many people as it entertained. He won via a 6th-round stoppage against Jake Paul in Miami in December 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Once inside the ropes, Joshua is a physical specimen without equal in the division, apart from maybe Fury himself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At 6\u20196\u201d and with an 82-inch reach, Joshua can display tremendous explosive power with both hands, as his ~90% KO ratio indicates. His best performances \u2013 an 11th-round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 and the brutal 2-round demolition of Francis Ngannou in 2024 &#8211; showcase how efficiently Joshua dispatches opponents who are not on their game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only question mark over his career is <\/span><b>AJ\u2019s response to adversity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Here\u2019s how 7bet experts and the insiders from around the world are picturing each man\u2019s paths to victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>How Can Fury Win?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fury\u2019s blueprint is built on the suffocation of his opponents. Carrying a 3-inch height and reach advantage means he can dictate the range from the get-go. Denying AJ\u2019s mid-range combos (most dangerous weapons) is going to be crucial. <\/span><b>Fury has beaten every style he has faced<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 the technical master (Klitschko), the raw puncher (Wilder), the colossus (Ngannou). His ability to adjust in-fight is second to none.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The key weapon is probably going to be his jab<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Fury throws an exceptional, measured jab that serves double duty: it keeps Joshua at a distance and establishes a rhythm that gradually wears opponents down. Once the Gypsy King senses hesitation, he can shift gears to ramp up the pressure. The cleanest way to his victory seems one built around range control and ring IQ, leading to a Unanimous Decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>How Can Joshua Win?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strangely enough, AJ comes into the fight as the smaller man, yet <\/span><b>his cleanest path to victory seems to run through the first 4 rounds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If he can close the distance ASAP and impose his strength in the clinch and land one or two clean right-handers that have ended 26 bouts, the fight can be over before Fury\u2019s superior ring craft becomes the dominant factor. The aforementioned two-round demolition of Ngannou is evidence that, when the timing is right, no heavyweight alive survives AJ\u2019s combination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge is that Fury is not Klitschko or Ngannou. He\u2019s much more elusive than you might expect, and can absorb even the most devastating knockdown. <\/span><b>Joshua might not be able to break through Fury\u2019s defence so easily, so physical conditioning will also play a huge role<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. AJ will need to re-adjust after the start to sustain a high rate of work heading into the championship rounds to turn the points battle in his favour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Watch Fury vs Joshua in the UK?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fury vs Joshua will be broadcast live on Netflix worldwide, including the UK. It will be the 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> live-streamed event of this magnitude on the platform in 2026, following Fury\u2019s April return against Makhmudov.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscription details and pricing for Netflix are available at netflix.com, but the streaming service is included with all active subscriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Is Fury vs Joshua a Title Fight?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, since both men lost their titles to Oleksandr Usyk. Fury vs Joshua is a non-title fight that only carries enormous prestige. However, the winner might become the next in line for a rematch against the very same Usyk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Did it Take So Long for the Fight to Happen?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it was close to happening a few times, Deontay Wilder\u2019s contractual rematch clause derailed Fury\u2019s side while AJ lost to Usyk, and the landscape changed. Subsequent discussions broke down due to financial terms and other complications. However, the timing is now right, and the event is scheduled for Q4 of 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Much Will Fury and Joshua Earn from this Fight?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While exact purses have not been publicly confirmed, both fighters are expected to pocket around \u00a3100m from the bout, according to widespread industry reports. Given the Netflix global rights deal and Saudi backing, it is likely to be among the highest-purse fights in British sporting history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #18ae62;\">Betting is only available to participants above 18 years.
