Betting on Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko

Betting on Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko

By UK Horse Racing Star

Some people think the fight tomorrow between unbeaten British Anthony Joshua and the famous
boxing brother Wladimir Klitschko is even e.g. Joint favourites.

However but on Bet365.com the odds tell a different story.

The odds on Bet365.com for just an outright win are:

Anthony Joshua: 1.36 
Wladimir Klitschko: 3.25

So almost less than third the price for the favourite Antony Joshua. Also not exactly a good betting proposition unless you know 100% he will win and you have £1000 to win £360 etc.

Here is a compilation of his highlights and knockouts of 2017.



The thing is you have to remember the original odds were set ages ago and will have changed as people bet on the two men.

So as Anthony Joshua is unbeaten and British, a lot of Brits will have bet on him driving his odds down. Whether you feel this is important or not is up to you but I am not going to throw £1000 to win £360.

Here is showing off his hand speed in the ring.



If you don't know much about this Ukrainian boxer then check out Wikipedia. Here is a snippet

Klitschko is a Ukrainian professional boxer. He is a former world heavyweight champion of three major sanctioning bodies, having held the titles of the WBA, IBF, and WBO (twice); additionally he has held the IBO, Ring magazine, and lineal heavyweight titles. A strategic and cerebral boxer, Klitschko is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, as well as among the hardest punching knockout artists in the history of the division; his strong jab, straight right hand and left hook being his most formidable weapons.

It may even be wise to have a small bet on Klitschko at the bigger price just in case he wins. Cover your stake on any Joshua bet and still make some money.

Personally I have ignored the actual boxer who might win and gone for non named bets such as the boxing match to last less than 7.5 rounds or not to complete 12 rounds.

Another thing I have done is mix the fight up with some football bets to get the odds higher.

I've ignored the UK league as its very close just like in Spain where the top four teams led by joint teams Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the Spanish Primeras Liga this year are:

• Real Madrid 1.44 (joint top)
• Barcelona 2.75 (joint top)
• Atletico Madrid 1501.00 
• Sevilla 2001.00

You can see the league here http://www.espnfc.com/spanish-primera-division/15/table

Also I believe Juventus will win the European Champion Cup this year so I have done a number of accumulators on Bet365.com

For example one of the accumulators I did was:

• Juventus to win (European Championship) outright: at 2.62 
• Juventus to beat Monaco: 2.25 
• The Fight to last under 7.5 rounds: 1.90 
• Barcelona to win La Liga: 2.75

A £25 stake returns £139.81 on this bet with Bet365.com

If you are not sure who to bet on in the fight then you always have the opportunity to do non fighter bets such as the one above.

Bet on the fight lasting less than 7.5 rounds, the fight being decided by decision, the exact round it will end in and many more. So don't think if you don't know which fighter to bet on that you cannot have a little wager.

There are so many bigger priced offers to choose from on the Boxing match including

• To win by TKO or KO
• To win in or under rounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.5
• Joshua/Klitschko to win outright
• Will the fight go the distance
• To win by KO, TKO, unanimous decision, split decision (not named boxer)
• Will one of the boxers get knocked down and then get up again.

So you can join up a lot of these bets with other sports, and other boxing bets to get a good accumulator.

Plus on Bet365.com they now have an Edit Bet option where in the middle of the accumulator bet you can choose to remove a team, replace it with another team or add teams. This is great for dipping and fast acca betting.

So we will see who is king of the ring when these two fight Saturday night.

Who do you think will win, Joshua or Klitschko?
