Andy Cruz is a slight favourite to dethrone Raymond Muratalla in their world lightweight title clash this Saturday.

Cruz challenges IBF champion, Muratalla at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, live on DAZN.

The unbeaten Cuban, who secured a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics by defeating Keyshawn Davis in the final, will fight for a world title in just his seventh professional bout.

The 30-year-old is the mandatory challenger to Muratalla, who is undefeated in 23 professional contests and overcame Zaur Abdullaev in May.

Cruz heads in as a narrow favourite to win a maiden world title, priced at 5/13 with Bet365.

Muratalla, who was elevated from interim champion to full IBF titlist in June following Vasiliy Lomachenko’s retirement, is a 39/20 underdog with Bet365 to defend his belt for the first time.

Cruz, who stopped Hironi Mishiro in June, is expected to become the new champion on points at 5/6, while his Californian rival is priced at 13/2 to win by decision.

The pair have 20 knockouts between them and are priced the same at 15/4 to win inside the distance.
