The one advantage of being in the midst of winter is that we have the whole year ahead of us to look forward to. And you know what that means, sports fans?
Plenty of exciting fixtures still to come!
For those who have recently discovered the wonderful world of sports betting on websites like Caesars Casino & Sports, today we’re running through the top five biggest sporting events not to miss in 2019…
1 – WBC Heavyweight Champion
While we don’t currently know who will be taking to the ring on April 13 to compete for the title of WBC Heavyweight Champion, what we do know is this is a title bout not to be missed.
Deontay Wilder currently holds the title, but both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are keen to knock him off the top spot.
If Joshua is successful, he will succeed in becoming the first undisputed heavy weight king since Lennox Lewis, given he currently holds three of the four major championships in boxing.
2 – The US Open
If you like betting on sports, golf is one of the most predictable and profitable to choose.
Plus, there are loads of great golfing fixtures scheduled for 2019 – The Masters, the USPGA Championship and the Solheim Cup, but nothing is geeing up golf fans more that The Open, which is returning to Northern Ireland’s Portrush for the first time since the 50s.
Tickets for the event, which takes place from July 14-21, sold out in minutes. Fortunately, you can enjoy the action from the comfort of your couch.
3 – The Ashes (and the Cricket World Cup)
Cricket fans rejoice! This is set to be the biggest year on the crease in modern cricket history. Not only will Australia and England be battling it out for The Ashes, but the Cricket World Cup also kicks off in May.
4 – The Davis Cup
The sporting fixtures don’t ease up, even towards the end of the year.
In November, the greatest names in tennis will journey to Madrid to battle for The Davis Cup. A lot can happen in one tennis match, giving fans of sports betting plenty to put their money behind.
5 – World Championship Athletics
Just one year out from the Japan Olympics 2020, the hottest fixture on the global athletics calendar this year is the World Championship Athletics live from Doha.
Whether you’re in it for the events, or for backing the winners, the nine-day event is set to be one of the most exciting sporting events of the year.
