Joshua - Klitschko: Biggest betting fight in history?

William Hill, sponsor of Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko, is predicting the global betting industry turnover could reach £100 million (£20 million in the UK alone) for Saturday’s eagerly awaited world heavyweight showdown.

British sporting icon and current IBF world champion Joshua is the 4/9 favourite to win the fight – and in the process add the vacant WBA and IBO titles to his collection. AJ, who won Olympic gold at London 2012, has enjoyed a perfect start to his professional career with 18 wins from 18 fight – all coming by way of knockout. Unsurprisingly, William Hill are offering short odds of 8/13 for the Londoner to knockout Kitschko at Wembley Stadium.

When “Me Against the World” came out in March 1995, the Romanian boxer was no more than five years old and had no idea he would become, two decades later, AIBA heavyweight (+ 91 kg) world champion and only a year later, the sole representative of Romania at the Olympics in Rio.“Since I can remember, I was alone against the world. If one thing is fashionable, you’ll not see me pursue it. If everyone goes to the club, I’d rather stay home. In 26 years, I never went once in the club. Not once. “
