Prediction, pick for Josh Kelly vs. Caoimhin Agyarko

Prediction, pick for Josh Kelly vs. Caoimhin Agyarko

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

The first of two world title fights at the Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, sees Josh Kelly put his IBF Super Welterweight Championship on the line against Caoimhin Agyarko. A Heavyweight contest between Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga headlines this boxing card. This fight is expected to start at 3:37 p.m. ET and is airing on DAZN. 

Check out my best bet for Josh Kelly vs. Caoimhin Agyarko at today’s boxing event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Josh Kelly by Decision or Technical Decision (-200)

Kelly is 18-1-1 with nine knockouts and defeated Bakhram Murtazaliev in his previous contest to win the IBF title. He is on an eight-fight winning streak and has continued to level up his game against top-tier competition. Kelly faces another undefeated fighter in Agyarko, who is 18-0 with seven knockouts. Agyarko is coming off a split decision win over Ishmael Davis in September 2025. 

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Kelly is a -500 favorite with Agyarko being the underdog at +350. This fight has an over/under of 10.5 rounds, with the over being -500 and the under being +320. In this fight, the defending champion has a height (5’10” vs. 5’9″) and reach (72″ vs. 71″) advantage over the challenger. 

I give the edge to Kelly in this fight, as he has more big-fight experience and seems to be still improving. As he showed against Murtazaliev, Kelly has what it takes to edge out a victory against a tough opponent even when it is an extremely close contest. Since two of his last three and five of his seven wins have come by decision, I’m taking Kelly at -200 to pick up the victory on the judges’ scorecards.
