Mick Hennessy for Hennessy Sports stages a cracking evening of professional boxing at the Victoria Warehouse, Manchester on Saturday evening. We have an action-packed bill ahead with Hughie Fury taking on Chris Norrad in a top of the bill tussle. Here are our top Hughie Fury v Chris Norrad betting tips.

The undercard includes a British title fight at super lightweight between Steve Brogan and Adam Hague over 12 rounds with followers of the undercard catching up on the careers of promising pugilists, including Alex Dilmghani, Martin Parlagi, Matty Fagan, Savannah Marshall and Marcel Braithwaite.

The best of the evening’s contests will be shown live on Channel Five with the first bell in the main event scheduled for 10.00pm GMT. It’s not often followers of terrestrial TV enjoy a competitive night of championship boxing but that’s exactly what we have on our hands here and the viewer numbers should reflect the excitement surrounding this one.

Add Extra Heat to Fight Night

You can add a little extra heat to your Saturday fight night by placing a bet on the outcome of the main bouts. Have your say on the winners and throw a few together to create a punchy accumulator or aim for a bigger price and play the specials, such as total rounds, winning rounds and method of victory.

The latter is a particular favourite with punters as it offers a crack at a big price pay out but landing a winner is no mean feat. To beat the bookies in this instance you must correctly predict both the winner of the fight and how they will achieve the result – knockout or on points. A tough ask, of course, but the prizes make it one worth shooting for and those putting in the research, pouring over form and figures, will give themselves every chance of taking the traders down a peg of two.

Thankfully for those in a rush and wanting an interest bet, our team of highly experienced sports betting experts and former professional boxers have done the hard work, so you don’t have to. We’ve run the rule over the two men involved in the main bout, looking at form and style, as well as which bookmakers are offering best odds. The latter is vitally important if you are serious about beating the bookies as you must ensure your stake money is working as hard as possible on your behalf. We’ll ensure it does just that.

Fury Boasts a 21-2-0 Record

Hughie Fury enters the arena with a professional record reading 21 wins against two defeats and no draws. A cousin of former world champion Tyson Fury, he has been a professional since 2013 and was well respected in the division during the early part of his career with many fight fans predicting he would go on to equal the achievements of Tyson. That hasn’t happened to date but at just 24 years old and with world championship experience behind him, Hughie is a progressive fighter who can achieve big things in the sport.

The 6ft 6inch heavyweight suffered his first career defeat when losing on points to Joe Parker for the WBO world title in the summer of 2017. He was edged by a majority decision that night and although the fighter himself and many of his supporters believed he did enough to warrant the win, the truth was Hughie didn’t quite do enough to take the strap from the champion. To win a world title you not only have to beat the champion but rip the belt from around his waist and he didn’t do that at the Manchester Arena.
