Punter turns £14 into £4k with astonishing 14-leg acca on boxing and UFC, including Eubank Jr vs Benn fight night
FLOAT like a butterfly, sting like a bee, said Muhammad Ali.
And bookmakers Betfair were certainly stung after this clever punter collected a whopping £4,034 from just £14 over the weekend.
The mystery bettor won colossal cash by correctly predicting the outcome of 14 fights, including the epic showdown between Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The punter placed £14 on the 14-fold accumulator at seismic odds of 287/1, across fights in the UK, America and Germany over three nights.
The first batch of fights took place in the US in the ‘LA Friday Night Fights’ series with heavy favourites Justin Viloria, Javier Meza, Danilo Diez and Ricardo Sonny Robledo claiming wins at minuscule odds.
Sarah Bormann then successfully defended her title for the first time, defeating Isabel Rivero by split decision in Germany.
Welterweight Eric Tudor also passed a stern test with a 10-round unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California.
Eyes turned to north London where our punter needed four more fights to go their way.
Viddal Riley defeated Cheavon Clarke to win the British cruiserweight title before Chris Billam-Smith scored the 21st win of his 23-fight career over Brandon Glanton and Anthony Yarde settled his trilogy with Lyndon Arthur by unanimous decision.
This left the Betfair customer needing Chris Eubank Jr to win via points or decision against his arch-rival Conor Benn at the largest odds on this punter’s 14-leg betslip (3/1).
It was far from a comfortable watch with both fighters showing wild aggression and swinging for the rafters in a chaotic 12th Round before Eubank Jr’s hand was raised.
With barely a minute to gather their thoughts, this punter’s attention headed back to the States where the UFC was getting started with four more bouts required to clinch a big win.
And it was certainly worth the wait with Randy Brown, Abus Magomedov and Zhang Mingyang all doing the business before and Ian Machado Garry survived a late scare from Carlos Prates, earning a unanimous decision.
