Boxing Predictions

Boxing is one of the most prominent sports across the globe. Boxing bouts capture the imagination of sports fans everywhere, especially for big-name heavyweight battles. There are four main boxing organisations - World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organisation (WBO). These organisations, along with other governing bodies including the International Boxing Organisation (IBO), put on fights all year round, meaning there’s always opportunities to place boxing bets.
Read on to find our latest boxing predictions and tips, handpicked by our team of experts. Our team provide you with tips that have been thoroughly researched and assessed. Learn how to analyse boxing odds and where you can find value!
Below, you’ll find the latest boxing predictions and tips for upcoming fights. To develop these tips, we’ve thoroughly analysed head-to-head records, recent form, training, odds value and statistics
When you place bets on any sport, it’s important you analyse and research into every factor that can have an impact on what happens in the event. For our boxing tips, we consider every aspect that could dictate how a fight might play out. In particular, we look at the recent form of both boxers, any head to head records that might exist from previous meetings, training camps and the fighting style of both boxers.
In addition, we consider the value of the odds on offer from betting sites. Finding value is one of the keys to successful betting. We focus on every specific detail to ensure our boxing predictions and tips stand the best chance of being successful.
We are continually working to increase our knowledge base on boxing. This involves researching bouts taking place all over the world from all major and minor organisations. We closely follow upcoming youngsters and how they’re performing, as well as the big names of the sport.
In particular, we research how each boxer’s previous fights have ended. For example, we look at how many previous bouts have gone the distance and how many were finished by Knockout or Technical Knockout. We also research how many rounds a boxer’s previous fight lasted, using this information to judge whether a particular fighter has experience in going the full 12 rounds, if they tire and try to finish the fight in the first five rounds, or if they’re slow to start but possess the stamina to go the distance.
Once we’ve analysed this information, we can then begin to build our boxing predictions and tips.
Another important aspect we look at is a boxer’s recent performances. Have they struggled to last the distance? Have they been slow to react to their opponents jabs and hooks? We also look at the types of fighters they’ve faced in recent times, comparing them to their upcoming opponents to assess their fighting style.
We also consider the event itself. If the fight is the headline bout and there’s huge media interest, how might this affect a boxer’s performance? We look at if they have previous experience of big money fights and how they performed.
Alternatively, a fight might be on the undercard, or hasn’t garnered much media interest. We consider how this might affect a boxer’s performance. For example, some boxers love the limelight and tend to perform better when the world’s attention is on them. Others might struggle with this side of the sport.
As we mentioned earlier, finding value in the odds is an important part of betting. If we can find the edge over the bookmaker, we can have the opportunity to maximise our profit margins. Research is incredibly important, especially in regards to finding value. By researching into a fight, we can often discover an aspect that the bookmaker has failed to notice, thus finding longer odds when in reality they should be much shorter.
We’ll come to betting markets in a moment, but we should mention it here too. Often, value bets can be found in boxing markets other than Fight Winner. Total Rounds Over/Under, When Will The Fight End and Method of Victory can often provide greater value than a simple Winner bet.
Our boxing tipsters put a huge amount of effort into building their predictions. Every factor is considered carefully, ensuring we’re providing our readers with the best possible tips, those that stand the best chance of being successful.
Our boxing predictions and tips cover fights taking place all over the world, from major title fights to lesser-known events. We provide predictions on WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF fights, as well as those from the IBO.
You’ll find tips and predictions on men’s boxing, but we also take women’s boxing extremely seriously. There can be value to be found in women’s boxing, too, and boxing odds and markets on women’s events can be found at most betting sites across the globe.
Most operators offer plenty of betting markets for their users to choose from. There may not be as many markets available as other big sports, such as football and cricket, but there’s still a good deal of variety and, more importantly, good opportunities to find betting value.
Below, we’ve detailed some of the most common betting markets our experts base their boxing predictions and tips on.
This is the most common way to bet on boxing, as well as being the simplest. Betting on the Fight Winner market means exactly that - you’re betting on which boxer you think will win the bout.
Many boxing betting sites offer the option to bet on the draw. While some operators only offer the To Win Fight option, you can find the draw available at some online bookmakers across the globe.
Betting on which Round you think the bout will end in can provide excellent betting value. Calling a specific Round can be a difficult thing to do, which is why the odds on this particular market tend to be relatively high.
Most operators offer some form of Round Group betting. With this market, you can bet on if the fight ends in Rounds 1-3 or Rounds 4-6, for example. As you’re spreading your chances a little with this specific market, the odds are slightly lower than nominating a specific Round. Still, it’s a market that can provide value.
As well as odds being available on a Round the fight will finish in, many betting sites offer you the option to bet on which boxer will win in which Round, which is a good way of further lengthening the odds.
Most operators offer you the option to bet on not just when the fight will end, but how the fight will end. Knockout, Technical Knockout and Unanimous Decision are the most common ways a bout finishes. There are other Method of Victory markets available too, such as Split Decision and Disqualification. These latter markets are generally only available on the bigger, more prominent fights.
Over/Under bets are incredibly popular in a number of sports. They’re a common choice in boxing, too, with most betting sites offering this market.
An Over/Under bet is mostly associated with Round Betting. You’ll find the Total Round Over/Under market at the majority of boxing bookmakers. With this market, you’re betting on how many Rounds will be fought, over or under a specified amount.
In-play betting can be an exciting way to bet on boxing. Many bettors who place wagers on live odds use this facility to cover their own bets, or to find additional value that pre-fight odds didn’t provide.
To give yourself the best chance of betting successfully in-play, it’s important you follow the action. By doing so, you can notice a few things, such as if a particular boxer looks tired or is taking plenty of punches. Some operators offer live streaming services on selected bouts, which can make it easy to follow the action.
As boxing is one of the world’s most popular sports, you’ll find odds and markets at the majority of betting sites. When we rate and evaluate boxing sites, we consider many aspects, such as the quality of odds available, the range of markets, if both major and minor events are covered and if in-play betting is available. In addition, we look at the overall user experience a betting site provides, if they provide a usable mobile site or app and how easy it is to make payments to and from our betting account.
The following sites are our top recommendations for betting on boxing.
As well as our boxing predictions and tips, our experts provide their analysis on many other sports. If you’re looking to find the latest football tips, we have them available here, featuring predictions on major and minor events ranging from the FIFA World Cup to England’s National League 2.
We also provide basketball tips, along with tennis and plenty of other sports and events.
If you’re new to betting on boxing, we suggest starting with the most simple bet types and markets. A good place to start might be the Fight Winner market, where you’re simply betting on which boxer you think will win the bout. Remember, though, that research is key no matter which market you choose.
Odds can fluctuate dramatically for a number of reasons in many sports, and boxing is no different. If it’s reported that a boxer has picked up an injury in their training camp, this could alter the odds. A press conference and the head-to-head can also be analysed and change the odds, depending on its events. Betting volume too can play a part, especially if there’s a late influx of bets on one particular boxer to win.
Boxer form is important, but possibly doesn’t play as big a part as form does in other sports. There’s lots of time in between bouts for a fighter, so if they’ve lost one fight they’ve had plenty of opportunity to recover. However, and this is particularly true if a specific boxer’s last outing was a loss in a big money fight, or their next fight is a re-match, this could add extra pressure.
At its most basic level, a value boxing bet is where the chances of an event happening in a bout are greater than what a betting site’s odds suggest they are. You can find value bets, especially if you conduct thorough research.
Is it possible to make money when you bet on boxing? Yes. However, it’s also possible, and probable, that you’ll lose money when you bet on boxing too. Make sure you conduct your research and place small stakes to minimise the risk of losing your entire bankroll.
With different boxing organisations, there isn’t a specific ranking system in boxing, certainly not an official one anyway. Each organisation has their own ranking system, which dictates amongst many other aspects which boxers have the opportunity of title fights.
