1. Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin Predictions
Given he is the title holder, it comes as little surprise when looking at the Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin betting odds that it’s the British boxer who will start the bout as the favourite. Joshua is not just the favourite, he is the overwhelming favourite and bet365 offer just 1/16 for him to win the fight and retain his title.
Why do the bookmakers have such huge confidence in the champion and put him so far ahead in the Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin predictions?
This will be the 22nd fight in the professional career of Anthony Joshua and in his first fight of 2018, he defeated Joseph Parker by unanimous decision. Despite the fight going the distance, there was little doubt who was the superior man and Joshua won the bout comfortably.
Joshua was perhaps more defensive against Parker than we have seen in previous fights but it was good to see another style to his boxing. When making Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin betting tips, it pays to remember Joshua is yet to taste defeat in his professional career and is an Olympic champion.
Povetkin also has a strong record and has lost only one of his professional fights, which was against Wladimir Klitschko. However, at 38 years of age, he is conceding a lot of youth to Joshua, who is the much younger fighter.
Since the defeat to Klitschko, Povetkin has been involved in 8 fights and has won each of them. His most recent bout came against David Price at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on the 31st March this year. Povetkin knocked Price out in the 5th round and that happened on the same night as Joshua defeated Parker by unanimous decision.
However, despite coming back strongly from the defeat to Klitschko, you just have to look at the Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin odds to see how much of an underdog the Russian is for this fight. Povetkin is out at 8/1 with bet365 to win the fight and the bookmakers clearly feel it would be a big upset were the challenger to come out on top at Wembley.

2. Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin Betting Odds
One of the challenges when creating Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin predictions is knowing how the fight will end.
This fight is expected to be easier for Joshua than his previous bout against Parker, when he was fighting at his lightest weight for four years. From his 21 previous wins, only once has Joshua been taken the distance and the British fighter will be aiming to make a return to his preferred method of victory, which is knockout.
Since turning professional in 2013, following success at the 2012 Olympic Games, Joshua has stopped all but one of his opponents. Boasting the age advantage, the reach advantage and the increased stamina shown against Parker, Joshua will be ready to end this fight as early as possible.
Joshua has two wins to his name at Wembley already and in both fights he stopped his opponents. The Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin betting odds at bet365 clearly suggest the champion is capable of stopping his opponent again and you can back Joshua to win by knockout, technical knockout or disqualification at just 2/5.
Many fans believe this fight is going to end early and our Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin betting tips feel the same way.
The main question is in what round will Joshua stop the fight?
In his previous two appearances at Wembley Stadium, the last of which was the career defining night against Wladimir Klitschko, Joshua stopped his opponent. The Klitschko fight ended in the 11th round, when the referee stepped in to stop the action and Joshua’s previous fight at Wembley ended in the first round, with the knockout of Matt Legg.
While Povetkin is expected to last longer than Legg, the Russian is not expected to remain in the contest as long as Klitschko. Many observers are expecting Joshua to come out and make a statement with the potential of a meeting with Deontay Wilder on the cards and you can get 9/2 for Joshua to win in rounds one to three.
If Povetkin is to cause an upset it may come in the later rounds, if the fight is close and Joshua is chasing the knockout blow. Povetkin has stopped six of his last eight opponents and 50% of those have come from round 7 onwards.
If you want to back the outsider for this fight you can get 50/1 for Povetkin to win by knockout, technical knockout or disqualification between rounds 10 and 12.
