If you're in a legal betting state, you may not see two of the biggest boxing matches of the weekend at sportsbooks like DraftKings or FanDuel — Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury vs. KSI in Manchester, England. The ability for sportsbooks to offer certain boxing matches usually comes down to whether or not the fight is sanctioned by a recognized governing body of boxing. In this case, The British Boxing Board of Control did not sanction the card as "professional" and instead deemed the fights exhibitions, prohibiting U.S. betting sites from offering them in most states.
We found Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis and KSI vs. Tommy Fury odds at FanDuel in just three U.S. states, but you can still get in on the action with a site like PrizePicks, which is available in more than 30 U.S. states (including Florida, California and Texas). They offer DFS games featuring a number of stats from these fights — you can take Tommy Fury more than 0.5 knockdowns and that fight to go less than 16.5 minutes and 2x your payout. Use promo code ACTION2 for a deposit match up to $100.
Paul is a big favorite over Danis (Paul is -650, meaning a $65 bet wins just $10), and Tommy Fury is a big favorite over KSI (Fury is -400, so a $40 bet wins $10). We'll dive deeper into the odds on both fights below.

Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis Odds
Paul is a huge favorite over Danis. He hasn't fought since 2019 and has three career bouts — a loss and a draw to fellow YouTuber KSI, and a "non-scored exhibition bout" against Floyd Mayweather in 2021 that didn't technically have a result.
| Fighter | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Logan Paul | -650 | $65 bet wins $10 |
| Dillon Danis | +410 | $10 bet wins $41 |
Tommy Fury vs. KSI Odds
Fury is a big favorite over KSI after defeating Jake Paul by split decision in February. Fury is the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and boasts a 9-0 career record.
| Fighter | Odds | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Tommy Fury | -400 | $40 bet wins $10 |
| KSI | +280 | $10 bet wins $28 |
What Does "Sanctioned" Mean?
Boxing is a tricky sport for sportsbooks to manage because there isn't one single governing body. If a legal site wants to offer something like the USFL and hasn't previously, it's easy — they just need to ask the states they operate, and those states can say yes or no based on what they know about the integrity of the USFL.
But boxing is not governed by one organization, so every fight is a little different, and most U.S. states require the fights to be sanctioned to legitimize them, and allow sportsbooks to offer legal betting odds on them.
The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight wasn't available anywhere in the U.S. because it was deemed a true exhibition. The Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight was available in some states.
