The stakes have never been higher for both athletes going into their bout on Saturday. Both undefeated, they will go in to the ring with high expectations as both hope to add not only another victory to their resume, but another belt to their collection.
Both fighters faced extremely tough competition in 2017, with Joshua fighting Wladimir Klitschko and Parker coming out on top against an (at the time) undeafeated Hughie Fury.
After months of talking a big game to the press and on social media, Parker was handed his opportunity to face Joshua in a deal that could see him take home £13 million from the bout, a sum nearly ten times bigger than that of any of his previous fights. Get him to back up his talk and win here at boxing betting odds of 5/1.
One of the biggest talking points going into the fight is Joshua wanting to give Parker the respect he deserves without under estimating the undefeated champion. On the flip side, the Kiwi’s somewhat over confident attitude has also come into question, with outlandish comments such as stating ‘he’s going to finally burst Joshua’s bubble’ not isolated.
Joshua treading carefully
Over the past week, Joshua and his trainer have stated that the biggest mistake they could make coming into this fight is to under estimate their opponent. They realise that Parker is not only undefeated, but a champion, with good ability and quick hands meaning Joshua must be prepared and on top of his game if he is going to come out on top.
Joshua and his team will however be well aware of the Kiwi’s recent elbow problems and look to take advantage of these if the fight goes on into the later rounds. Get Joshua to win in the 9th round of the fight here at fight night boxing odds of 11/1.
Parker talking the talk
Joe is convinced that Anthony Joshua isn’t all that he seems, and he believes he has the necessary credentials to finally show this to the world. Ex-boxing champion’s David Haye and Tyson Fury have backed the Kiwi boxer and believe he has the ability to put Joshua on the back foot as he seeks to cause a shock defeat. Haye stated that ‘if he wobbles Joshua then he will empty the tank on him’. Get Parker to win by KO here at boxing betting odds of 13/2.
Even with Joshua airing on the side of caution, he is still the absolute favourite to win the fight and add another belt to his growing collection. As he stated himself, Parker isn’t to be under estimated, however even so, Joshua has proved over the past year that he is up for the challenge. Even if he is put on the back foot and falls, he is more than capable of getting himself back up again.
