Command Analysis
Hamdy Abdelwahab
EgyptCurrent form
Hamdi Abdelwahab is like lightning in the heavyweight division, but with the shadow of a scandal. In February, in Riyadh, he became part of one of the most shameful refereeing decisions of the year, when Jamal Pogues was simply robbed of victory. The judges there, let's say, played along with a local fighter, and this was not the first case in the region. This controversial victory saved Abdelwahab a 4-0 pro record, but there is also a dark spot in his history — a no-result fight with Don'tale Mays in 2022 due to a failed doping test, after which he served a disqualification under the supervision of USADA. The Egyptian is all about speed and explosive power, but questions about his reputation remain.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Abdelwahab's punches is 52 percent.
Mohammed Usman
NigeriaCurrent form
Mohammed Usman is like a veteran who has seen better days. He is on a two-game losing streak: he lost on points to Thomas Pietersen and Mick Parkin, both times by unanimous decision. Before that, there was a victory over Jake Collier, also on points. The 36-year-old Nigerian has nine wins (three knockouts, four decisions, two submissions) and four defeats. Usman is tough, but his speed and reaction are not what they used to be, and this makes him vulnerable to younger and sharper fighters.
Interesting betting trends
The accuracy of Usman's punches is 37 percent.

Bookmakers see Abdelwahab as a clear favorite, and despite the shadow of the past, it looks reasonable. Heavyweights are always a lottery where one punch can turn everything around, but here the advantage is on the side of the Egyptian. Hamdi is faster, more explosive, and his knockout power is like a hammer that rarely misses. Usman, with all due respect, has become a target for Pietersen, unable to keep up with his pace, and against Abdelwahab, this story may repeat itself. We are waiting for a fight where Abdelwahab will push from the first seconds, throwing out precise combinations, and Usman will try to weather the storm and respond. The Nigerian is tough, but his defense and speed don't inspire confidence against such an aggressive opponent. The Egyptian will seize his moment and either finish or take a confident decision. Despite the refereeing scandal in the past, Hamdi's class should prevail.
Our prediction is that Abdelwahab will win in 1.56
