Boxing Betting

Boxing is big business, as promoter Don King has probably yelled to anyone who cares to listen, and not surprisingly boxing betting has been a big draw for punters. Names can be made in the blink of an eye and sometimes it's the stuff of sporting legend: the Rumble in the Jungle, the Thriller in Manila, Iron Mike Tyson going down to James Buster Douglas against the odds. With the ability to get your money on in-play, Betfair is the best place to bet on boxing.
