Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury vs. KSI will not be offered at most legal U.S. sportsbooks because most of the card is not sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control. That means these are bouts “exhibitions” and prevents legal betting sites from offering lines on them. Each U.S. state can decide whether or not books will be allowed to offer these type of celebrity bouts, but if a fight isn’t sanctioned, they usually won’t allow it. Both bouts will take place on Saturday night (so afternoon in the U.S.) in Manchester, England.
There are still options to prognosticate on these fights, including PrizePicks, which offers DFS games in more than 30 U.S. states. You can take the total fight time in Paul vs. Danis more or less than 14.5 minutes, and Fury more or less than 0.5 knockdowns, to double your money.

So why doesn’t a particular fight get sanctioned? It’s often due to a gap in skill level, which was the case for Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul, differences in weight (which is not the case here), or other concerns about the integrity of the fight.
Each state’s gambling commission makes the determination if sportsbooks request to offer certain fights or sports. But boxing is tricky because it’s not governed by a single body, so sportsbooks can’t get unanimous approval. There are also often integrity questions about exhibition boxing matches, since they would be easy to script.
