Ricardo Malajika has been installed as favourite for this weekend’s big local bout against IBO flyweight champion Jackson Chauke.
SuperSportBet, betting partner to Golden Gloves, has listed him at 1.58 and therefore betting R100 on him returns R158 total (R58 profit + R100 stake) if he beats his big rival.
Chauke is listed at 2.45: If you bet one unit (eg, R100), you win R245 total (R145 profit + R100 stake) if he has his hand raised at the fight’s conclusion.
A draw is rated at 19.00: Betting R100 would return R1900 if the fight ends in a draw, which is unlikely, according to the bookmakers.
In the main undercard fight, for the WBC Africa super welterweight championship, South Africa’s Brandon Thysse is the clear favourite at 1.48 against Charles Shinima with a R100 bet on him returning R148 total (R48 profit + R100 stake) in the case of a win.
Shinima’s price is 2.75 with a winning R100 bet worth R275 total (R175 profit + R100 stake), meaning he’s the underdog.
A draw is posted at 21.00, a very high return, reflecting how rare draws are in boxing.
