Bilal Fawaz vs Ryan Kelly Prediction

ATS PREDICTION

Bilal Fawaz Win

Predicted: 116-112

⚡88%

Bilal Fawaz enters this bout as the reigning British and Commonwealth Super Welterweight champion, having secured both titles with impressive majority decision victories in his last two fights against Ishmael Davis and Junaid Bostan, respectively. His ability to rally and dominate the later rounds, as evidenced in his February 2026 title win over Davis, highlights his stamina and strategic adjustments during a fight. While Ryan Kelly possesses more overall professional experience and a higher knockout percentage, his recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses and a draw in his last three outings. Fawaz, despite fewer professional fights, has been highly active and successful since his 2022 debut, demonstrating significant progression in his career.

SPREAD PREDICTION

Bilal Fawaz -4.5 Rounds (-4.5)

80%

Given Bilal Fawaz's recent championship form and his demonstrated ability to control the later rounds against quality opposition, he is expected to win comfortably on the scorecards. Ryan Kelly's recent fights, though competitive, have seen him lose close decisions or draw, suggesting he struggles to consistently win enough rounds. A handicap of -4.5 rounds for Fawaz implies he wins by a significant margin, which aligns with his current trajectory and Kelly's recent struggles to secure clear victories.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 9.5

85%

Both Bilal Fawaz and Ryan Kelly have a history of going the distance, particularly in longer championship-level fights. Fawaz's recent title bouts against Ishmael Davis and Junaid Bostan both went the full 12 and 10 rounds respectively. Kelly has also recently gone 10 and 12 rounds. While Kelly has a higher knockout percentage, Fawaz has proven to be durable, making it likely this fight will be decided by the judges.

✅ Fight Outright: Bilal Fawaz

Fawaz is the deserved favorite, and while the odds reflect this, his current form and recent title defenses suggest his true probability of winning is slightly higher than the implied odds, offering a small but notable edge.

Fawaz's last two title wins were by decision after 10 and 12 rounds, respectively, demonstrating his capability to win on the scorecards rather than relying on knockouts.
