Until the rules are revealed, we can’t be certain whether this bout qualifies as celebrity boxing betting or a legit fight. Rumors are now circulating that 18-ounce gloves will be used and that both combatants will wear headgear.
These are certainly parameters that should be known before making a wager, but the revelation of these rules will impact the odds and perhaps narrow the profit margins. As the fight draws closer, expect a flurry of boxing prop bets to appear due to the popularity of this matchup.
