Quick Picks

Our pick: Ursu to win

Value bet: Ursu to win Points or Decision

Long shot: Ursu to win by TKO/KO

Tale of the Tape

Ursu has become a feared welterweight fighter, rising to his current level quickly. He became the Commonwealth and WBO European champion in 2025 and is unbeaten heading into this fight.

Cooper isn't a bad fighter in his own right. He has made his own journey to the top of British welterweight boxing in rapid time, having only turned professional in 2019. 

The issue he may face in this contest is the orthodox vs southpaw battle, with the Moldovan England-based fighter using his southpaw stance to his advantage.

Check how the two compare with our quick tale of the tape (Cooper's figures first):

  • Age - 25 vs 25
  • Height - 5'8" (173cm) vs 5'11" (182cm)
  • Stance - Orthodox vs Southpaw
  • Record - 11-1-0 vs 14-0-0
  • KO Record - 4 vs 6

Betting Markets to Watch

The fight going the distance market offers value, with the 'Yes' outcome the most probable. Although Cooper suffered a knockout loss in his only defeat, both men have shown that they need to go the full distance more often than not to record a victory.

If we look at a long shot, we do think there is value in the 'Constantin Ursu KO/TKO/DQ' market that is worth exploring. Combined with Cooper's recent loss by this method, Ursu does have three wins in his last five fights by this method. 

Still, we think Cooper is a tougher opponent, but there's certainly value to be had. If you're new to boxing betting, understanding these markets can help you find opportunities.
