The complete guide to betting on boxing with bitcoin & crypto

At Cloudbet, the world's best bitcoin and crypto sportsbook, boxing enthusiasts can find a wide range of exciting betting options.

Boxing is a combat sport where two opponents engage in a series of punches with the objective of outscoring or knocking out their opponent. Modern boxing folklore is filled with stories of legends like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Robinson and Roberto Duran.

American legend Muhammad Ali features in arguably the two greatest fights of all time: The “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974 against George Foreman, and the “Thrilla in Manila” the following year against Joe Frazier. Against Foreman, in what is now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ali outlasted a more fancied opponent with his “rope-a-dope” strategy.

A year later, he beat Frazier, whose corner threw in the towel after one of the most punishing and brutal fights ever witnessed in boxing. While the two fights cemented Ali’s legacy as one of the greatest fighters ever, they left long-lasting damage on the boxer’s physique.

More contemporary greats have emerged in recent years to continue to excite fans of boxing, with no shortage of new champions to wager on. Names like Terence Crawford, Oleksandr Usyk, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Naoya Inoue and Devin Haney continue to set the world alight with their pugilistic prowess.

You can bet on all of these fighters with bitcoin and crypto at Cloudbet, where you can enjoy the convenience and benefits of cryptocurrency transactions. Immerse yourself in the world of professional boxing, relive legendary fights, and place your bets on your favorite fighters. Bet on boxing with bitcoin and crypto at Cloudbet and experience the ultimate sports betting adventure.

Who are the boxers to watch in 2026?

If you’re a fan looking to bet on boxing with bitcoin and crypto, you would do well to keep these five fighters on your radar. These pugilists are at the top of most “pound-for-pound” best boxer lists:

  1. Oleksandr Usyk: The undisputed heavyweight champion remains a major force in boxing and one of the most compelling figures for 2026 action. A former undisputed cruiserweight and Olympic gold medalist, Usyk continues to headline the sport after big wins over top heavyweights.
  2. Terence Crawford: After making history as the first boxer in the four‑belt era to become undisputed in three weight classes, Crawford’s tactical brilliance and ring IQ make him one of the most fascinating fighters to follow next year. His recent run solidifies him as a perennial pound‑for‑pound highlight.
  3. Naoya Inoue: Nicknamed “The Monster,” Inoue remains one of boxing’s most explosive and technically gifted fighters. An undisputed multi‑weight world titlist with devastating power and precision, he continues to be a staple at the top of pound‑for‑pound discussions.
  4. Saul “Canelo” Álvarez: A four‑weight world champion and one of the sport’s biggest draws, Canelo’s career trajectory means he’s still a name to watch in 2026. An upcoming recovery period from surgery may delay his return to the ring until mid‑to‑late in the year.
  5. Devin Haney: An elite technician and former undisputed lightweight champion, Haney has already claimed world titles in multiple divisions, including the WBC super‑lightweight belt and the WBO welterweight crown he captured in late 2025. Known for his exceptional defensive skills, sharp movement and boxing IQ, the 27‑year‑old remains a major figure to watch as he looks to solidify his status.
