Owen Cooper (11-1, 4 KOs) and Constantin Ursu (14-0, 6 KOs) clash for the vacant British and Commonwealth welterweight titles in Derby on Saturday, February 28, live on DAZN.
25-year-old Cooper is a former English welterweight champ, and unbeaten Ursu, also 25, is the reigning Commonwealth titlist.
Cooper reportedly secured 32 wins over his 41 amateur bouts, winning national titles. As a pro, he has won Midlands, English, and WBO European titles at welterweight.
Signed to promoter Frank Warren, Worcester’s Cooper has lost just once, to Ekow Essuman who sent former undisputed super-lightweight champ Josh Taylor into retirement last year.
Cooper came back 10 months on from that loss to defeat Chris Kongo on points in May 2025, so he hasn’t fought in nine months since then.
Ursu represented his country Moldova at international competitions, winning a silver medal at the 2015 European Junior Boxing Championships and bronze at the 2018 European Youth Boxing Championships.
Based in Plymouth where he is trained by Marlee Dan, Ursu has Southern Area, Commonwealth, and WBO European titles at welterweight, and comes into his 15th professional contest unbeaten.
My Prediction
Cooper is a sharp fighter with a stinging jab and commanding left hook. His upper trunk movement is quality, very quick at slipping shots and shows fluidity when rolling under. He can be guilty of lingering on the ropes and trading punch for punch, as evidenced in his defeat at the hands of Ekow Essuman.
He’s a pressure fighter that likes to stay at mid-range, so rarely ever smothers his work. Because of this, he is able to land often, but inevitably gets caught too. When he has the bit between his teeth, he is relentless, which is how he was able to overwhelm and outwork Eithan James.
Ursu is a very relaxed, fluid, flashy fighter, who likes to hang his lead southpaw right down low by his hip. He has a very jerky style, which can be awkward for opponents to work out, plus he leaps in from far out of a range in surprise attacks. His footwork is very bouncy like an amateur.
Two of his last three fights, when stepping up to 12-rounders, have ended via knockout, although both boxers KO ratios are equally low – less than 50%.
When you look at shared opponents, they have both knocked out Eithan James – Cooper via ninth-round retirement and Ursu via seventh-round KO.
This fight comes down to a clash of styles. Cooper is the traditional fighter who does everything right, just lacking a little bit of power. Ursu is unorthodox in his style of boxing and stance as southpaw, and has a style that can’t be taught.
The confident, cocky Commonwealth champ, Ursu, is the bookies favourite, but I’m going to side with the traditional, all-round ability of Cooper to win this.
If Cooper can get into his groove to close the distance and place Ursu under calculated, sustained pressure, then he should be able to land his shots and win the rounds at ringside. However, if Ursu gets into his flow and makes things as tricky as possible, then he may be able to land some big blows from range to catch the eye of the judges.
Prediction: Cooper to win

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
