When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title. To all my haters, this is what you wanted.

I KNOWWWW YOU GOT EM PICKED HAHAHHA”
Anthony Joshua also spoke on the fight news and sent a clear warning to Paul:

Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”

Most bookies have Paul at +650, and unsurprisingly AJ is a heavy -1100 favourite. Some are speculating whether Joshua has sufficient punch resistance to take big shots from anyone. With that in mind, Paul to win by KO/TKO/DQ is around +1100 in most places.
As mentioned, many are speculating whether AJ will jab and move and take Paul the full eight rounds. If you see Joshua winning by Decision or Technical Decision, you can find a price of around +500.
If Joshua’s punch resistance and desire still remain, it’s difficult not to see the Brit winning by knockout. Looking at the rounds market, Joshua to win in the first round is around +200. AJ has been inactive since his defeat to Daniel Dubois, so it’s conceivable he will take a round or two to find his range. Joshua to win in the fourth round is an intriguing possible selection at +900 with most bookies.
