Joshua opens as short price favourite against Wilder following reports of fight agreement

The Bronze Bomber has been slapped with the first underdog tag of his career

Anthony Joshua has opened as a sizable favourite over Deontay Wilder in what’s set to be boxing’s biggest bash of 2018, following reports the American has accepted the fight.

The Watford-born boxer is a 4/7 favourite over his American counterpart, with bookmakers implying he has a 63.6% chance of winning.

That means Wilder comes into the contest as a 2/1 underdog, the only time in the American’s distinguished career that he’s not been favoured by bookmakers.

With reports suggesting the ball is now in AJ’s court in terms of agreeing to a scrap in the UK, punters have been quick to back the British boxer.

In total, Joshua has received 64% of all bets since reports circulated last night, with just 28% of bets placed on the Bronze Bomber. With 8% of bets on the draw.

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “Following Wilder’s Tweet claiming he’s agreed to the bout, UK punters have been quick to back their hometown boy AJ.

“He’s opened as a sizable favourite over his American foe, with the Bronze Bomber being attributed with his first underdog tag of his career.”
