'Tyson Fury's ruthless destruction of Deontay Wilder has solidified his claim to being the top heavyweight of his generation,' an Oddschecker spokesperson said.
'With such an accolade comes newfound favouritism to become 2020's Sports Personality of the Year.
'The Gypsy King promised for weeks he would knock the hard-hitting Bronze Bomber out in their hugely anticipated rematch.
'If the new WBC and Ring Magazine champ secures another big victory later in the year, SPOTY will surely be his to lose.'
Should Fury be named Sports Personality of the Year, you can bet his speech will be rather entertaining, given comments he made about the award last year.
After being snubbed from the nominations list in 2018 and 2019, the British boxer took to Twitter to call the award a 'fix'.
'This year, two defences of the lineal title in Vegas, WWE fight in [Saudi] Arabia, best selling autobiography, Christmas single with Robbie [Williams], ITV documentary and mental health tour,' he tweeted in November.
'What sports personality has done more this year??? And I won’t get a mention, it’s a fix!!!'
