Heavyweights Efe Ajagba (20-1-1, 14 KOs) and Charles Martin (30-4-1, 27 KOs) clash over 10 rounds on Zuffa Boxing’s Sunday show on February 15, live on DAZN.
31-year-old Nigerian Ajagba kicked off his pro career with 10 straight KO wins against opponents with winning records, combining to 98-23, two of which were unbeaten. To this day, he has never fought any opponents with a losing record, and his 23 foes – including Charles Martin – now combine to an impressive 322-54 record.
He reached 15-0 before he clashed with 18-0 Frank Sanchez in his first ever professional title fight in 2021, but he lost via unanimous decision. He bounced back from defeat with five straight wins, collecting the WBC Silver heavyweight title and defending it twice to reach WBC #6.
However, in his last fight, he was held to a draw by WBA #3 Martin Bakole in March in Riyadh. He started brightly, flicking out his quick jab, then seemed to slow down and allowed Bakole to tee off on him. He fought 20 times between 2017-2023, but only managed to fight once in 2024 and 2025.
Missouri’s Martin is a former IBF world heavyweight champion, who lost the belt in his first defence to Anthony Joshua in 2016, 18 months before Ajagba had his pro debut.
Becoming a world champion is always an incredible achievement, but Prince Martin’s is somewhat tinged with disenchantment in that he only won the IBF world championship because Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in round three, then his 85-day reign became the second shortest in history, after Tony Tucker’s 64 days in 1987 for the very same belt.
In that world title defence, he walked to the ring dressed as king, told everyone he walks the earth as a God, but his performance was not commanding at all, as he was pushed back and hit with heavy right hands, dropped twice and stopped in the second round.
Now aged 39, the southpaw hasn’t fought in 15 months, but he comes into this contest off the back of a first-round KO win, proving he still carries power and threat.
Ajagba is tall, athletic and sharp, he will stand an inch above Martin, with around five inches in reach advantage too. He likes to let his lead left hang low by his hip, which he flicks upwards with speed. He can sometimesget caught on the ropes for too long, where he lingers unnecessarily with his feet squared and offering little defence or reactions. But when fighting at range, he is at his best, with his sharp jabs and one-twos.
Martin has respectable power, backed up by his 90% KO ratio. He has been knocked out twice. The first time, he was swept off his feet by the speed of AJ, but against Luis Ortiz, it was pure power that knocked him out cold on his feet, with no idea of his senses.
Ajagba has the skills, freshness, youth, activity and momentum to beat Martin, and he also possesses the speed to drop him too. Ajagba is the favourite and the most likely to win, but it’s in what manner he does it – will he jab his way to a points victory or step on the gas and go for a KO? Going for the stoppage will incur risk because Martin has scored 27 KOs from 30 victories. But the Nigerian has proven his chin already in fights with Jaren Anderson and Martin Bakole, the latter especially known for his punching power.
Ajagba is currently operating up high at world level, with impressive victories over Guido Vianello, Zhan Kossobutskiy and Stephen Shaw within his last five fights. I have Ajagba to win, but he has to put in a performance for all 10 rounds and not allow Martin to trap him on the ropes. I think he can box his way to a dominant points win if he can stay switched on and disciplined for the duration.

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.
