Albert Bell vs Keith Hunter: Prediction and odds on the Match on 31 August, 2025

The boxing arena is graced with the Pulse boxing promotion. In this encounter, Albert Bell will face Keith Hunter for a professional exhibition bout, which is on the co-main event billing with a 135 lbs (61.2 kg) weight class. It will be held at Huntington Center, Toledo, Ohio. Both fighters will be facing each other for the first time. This bout is so special as the belt on the line is a vacant NABA & IBF International Lightweight Titles. Who will win this encounter? Here at Telecom Asia, we take a look at the match’s preview and offer free betting opportunities.

Albert Bell's recent form

Albert Bell boasts a professional boxing record of 27-0 and 9 KOs. He is fighting out of Toledo, Ohio, USA. His last fight was on April 12, 2025, in Pulse Boxing against Josec Ruiz by unanimous decision. Before that match, he defeated Jonathan Romero in the first round by technical knockout. Winning the vacant IBF International and WBA-NABA lightweight titles will put Bell in line for a potential eliminator or even a direct shot at a world title. The 32-year-old is at a crucial point in his career and needs to reach his peak before someone else takes the spotlight. Bell isn’t bothered by Hunter’s smack talk during their live call ahead of the fight, calling it “banter” and promising to let their actions in the ring do the talking on Saturday night. Other victories he has recorded include Presco Carcosia, Nicolas Polanco, Martin Diaz, Daulis Prescott, Julio Cortez, Manuel Rey Rojas, Mark Bernaldez, Frank De Alba, and Andy Vences.

Albert Bell`s Strength

Albert Bell is disciplined jab, movement, and ring craft. He is the more likely fighter to control the match.

Keith Hunter's recent form

Hunter, with a record of 16-2 (10 KOs), enters the fight after a knockout victory over David Reyes Cota in February. The 33-year-old fought Rohan Polanco in 2023 at junior welterweight, where he was stopped in the sixth round. Hunter, the younger brother of 2012 U.S. Olympian Michael Hunter, comes into this fight as the underdog. Unlike his opponent, Hunter doesn’t have the same impressive record or high ranking. He’s currently ranked 27th in the U.S. and 115th globally. This likely explains why he’s an underdog and has received little attention in the pre-fight betting. Can he upset the odds? It's possible, as anything can happen in boxing, but I believe Hunter will return to Vegas with another loss on his record.

Keith Hunter`s Strength

Keith Hunter is aggressive and vulnerable to being outboxed.

Albert Bell vs Keith Hunter Betting Insights, Tips & Odds

• Two years ago, in August 2023, Bell was headlining an Overtime Boxing card in Atlanta. With clear physical advantages over the shorter Presco Carcosia, it’s surprising that Bell ever struggled to make the 130-pound weight limit. The option is available at 2.30 odds in the 1XBet bookmaker for Albert Bell to win by TKO, KO, or DQ.
• Hunter’s two losses include a knockout by Polanco and a points defeat to Armando Ramirez Almanza in Mexico four years ago. Since the Polanco loss, he’s fought only once, defeating David Reyes Cota in the fifth round of a six-round bout. The option is available at 2.30 odds in the 1XBet bookmaker for Keith Hunter to win by decision.

Albert Bell vs Keith Hunter Prediction

I agree with the bokies on this one. It's more about how Bell wins, rather than if he wins. The odds for the fight winner are tight and best suited for large bets, but that’s not my approach in professional boxing. I prefer finding value bets with smaller stakes to keep it affordable and enjoyable. While Bell is likely to win, placing a large stake to profit very little is not worth it. Instead, we’re focusing on the stats and trends, backing Bell to win on points. He will likely avoid his opponent’s power and build a comfortable lead on the scorecards, impressing the judges with his boxing skills.
