How to bet the Anthony Joshua-Alexander Povetkin fight

Boxing, null

England's unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) will defend his belts against former world titleholder Alexander Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOS) on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in London, England. This fight will launch the partnership between Joshua's promoter, Matchroom Boxing, and the recently launched online streaming network DAZN.

Here's a look at where the money is going from Vegas bookmakers, along with opinions from boxing experts, boxers and trainers, and my prediction for the fight.


Where is the money going?

Jeff Sherman, Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook's manager, opened the fight with Joshua -1400 and Povetkin +800. "Seventy-one percent of the tickets written are on Povetkin and 68 percent of the money as well, so we adjusted the line to -1200/+750", said Sherman.
