Prediction, pick for Filip Hrgovic vs. David Adeleye

Two top Heavyweight contenders, Filip Hrgovic and David Adeleye, will face each other on today’s boxing card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Hrgovic is 18-1 with 14 knockouts, while Adeleye is 14-1 with 13 wins by KO/TKO.

Here is my best bet for Hrgovic vs. Adeleye.

Filip Hrgovic by KO/TKO/DQ (+140)

After losing to Daniel Dubois in June 2024, Hrgovic got back in the win column, defeating Joe Joyce in April. Adeleye is coming off a victory against Jeamie Tshikeva.

Hrgovic is a massive -500 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook while Adeleye is a +350 underdog. With two knockout artists facing off, this fight is unlikely to go the distance. Getting Hrgovic to win by KO/TKO/DQ at +140 is a much better value play in this matchup.

Hrgovic is taller by an inch and a half (6’6″ vs. 6’4.5″) and has much more experience fighting on big events. Hrgovic hasn’t had back-to-back decision victories in his career, and he will likely come out more aggressive in this bout. Adeleye’s lone career loss came via TKO against Fabio Wardley in October 2023.
