Cruiserweight betting

The cruiserweight division is the last division before the heavyweight division (all heavyweight bets in boxing). The weight limit for a cruiserweight is 90.7kg or 200 pounds.

The division was recently created to accommodate smaller heavyweight boxers who could not compete with the increasing size of the boxers in this ultimate division. Evander Holyfield was the benchmark cruiserweight and the only former cruiserweight who succeeded as a heavyweight. Make boxing bets on our online sports betting platform.

In the heavy-lightweight division, the great thing about the top fighters is that they possess much of the power and strength of heavyweights along with all the athleticism and speed that bulkier boxers do not.

Betting on light heavyweights

With all the great matches in this division, it can seem like the top fighters are on a carousel — fighting each other over and over again. In the process, these light heavyweights have produced some notable fireworks in recent years.

Bettors have seen great fights like Marko Huck vs. Tomasz Adamek, Troy Ross vs. Steve Cunningham, and Marco Huck vs. Denis Lebedev - not to mention — the two fights between Steve Cunningham and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk.

Marco Huck, Steve Cunningham, Yoan Pablo Hernandez and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk are just a few of the good fighters competing in the cruiserweight division, and frankly, they don't get the recognition they deserve.

Betting on the best cruiserweight

Many of the best light heavyweight fighters are not from the United States. Most of the top fighters in this division spend the majority of their careers in their home countries, facing challenger after challenger.

Although many good fighters in the light heavyweight division are on the verge of being great boxers, Marco Huck is currently the king of the cruiserweight division and is on his way to becoming one of the best fighters ever in the noble art of boxing. But not many bettors know this because Huck has chosen to fight mainly in his native country, Germany.

Betting on Usyk Canelo fight

Oleksandr Usyk is a world champion in two weight classes — having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO unified titles ever since his victory over Anthony Joshua in September 2021. He also held the undisputed light heavyweight title from 2018 to 2019, being the first cruiserweight champion to hold all four major world titles.
