\"boxing\"No matter how you feel about boxing, there is no denying that it takes real steel cahoonies to step into a ring and go toe to toe against another fighter. Combining brute strength, dogged determination, and an often overlooked tactical element, there is a good reason why so many people still tune into this historic sport.<\/p>\n

As a sport to bet on, boxing has had its troubles in the past, largely surrounding corruption. Whether it’s fighters being paid to lose on purposes or judges given bribes to score a certain way, finding examples is not particularly tough. Things are improving though and today, the vast majority of professional fights are genuine contests, free of corruption, making them perfectly fair to bet on.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in having a flutter on the boxing, as so many people have done for many decades, there are a few things you should know. In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through all the key elements to boxing betting and the different ways you can wager your money.<\/p>\n

How to Bet on Boxing<\/h2>\n

\"BettingCompared to some other sports, boxing does not receive a large amount of coverage on bookmaker sites. With the likes of football and tennis, you will find a long list of daily fixtures nearly all year round but the schedule for Boxing is much sparser. This is partly because bookmakers do not generally pick low-level fights, sticking mainly to those that are broadcast and part of a marketed event. You also must factor in that boxers cannot compete as regularly as athletes in other sports. Due to the brutal nature of elite-level boxing, few professional competitors will step into the ring more than three times a year. Amateurs will be much more active but bookmakers seldom take bets on amateur fights, the Olympics being the most notable exception to this.<\/p>\n

You also have to factor in that boxing is a sport that is reliant on audiences, whether that be the local crowd or those watching on TV. For this reason, they tend to schedule events at peak times, usually Friday or Saturday nights. Few professional bouts take place during the week which means you may need to wait a few days before the next round of bet-able action.<\/p>\n

Although there may not be a huge list of fights to bet on, bookmakers do provide decent coverage of the sport and always cover every major fight, virtually without fail. The biggest fights tend to come with more betting options and even some special promotions, while the choice will be limited for those involving lesser-named competitors.<\/p>\n

The amount of betting markets available for a fight will vary by bookmaker but more so by how big the fight is.<\/p>\n

For bouts attracting little attention, sometimes a bookmaker may only provide odds for the match betting, that is, who will win the fight. This is not particularly unusual even among the larger betting sites. The bigger the contest though, the more options that will appear.<\/p>\n
