RONNIE O’SULLIVAN is favourite to be crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve slashed the snooker superstar’s odds from 100/1 to 10/3 frontrunner over the last 48 hours.

O’Sullivan, 46, claimed a record-equalling seventh World Championship title with an 18-13 win over Judd Trump in Sheffield.
The Englishman became the oldest world champion in Crucible history, and draws level with Stephen Hendry.
O’Sullivan has won 39 ranking titles and is fancied to add an altogether different trophy to his collection when the award is dished out in December.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Ronnie O’Sullivan can still capture the attention of the British public after coming in from a mammoth 100/1 to 10/3 favourite to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year after winning his seventh snooker World Championship.”
Tyson Fury was the previous SPOTY favourite after beating Dillian Whyte in his last fight before strongly hinting at retirement.

The Three Lions talisman will lead England to the World Cup in Qatar in November and December as one of the tournament favourites.
