After a long wait, Anthony Joshua is stepping up in the ring to defend his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO world heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev. The fight will take place at Wembley Arena on December 12. Will this be a victorious comeback home for AJ or will Pulev pull a massive upset?
Anthony Joshua v Kubrat Pulev Betting Tips | 22:00 pm Saturday, 12th December 2020
Surely Anthony Joshua is the strong favourite, but Pulev cannot be underestimated. He is a dangerous opponent, and in the heavyweight category, everything can suddenly change with a big punch. Let’s not forget that Joshua has been showing some weaknesses as he was dropped by Wladimir Klitschko and also floored four times by Ruiz Jr. Said that, thinking that Pulev can win this fight is unrealistic. The challenger has a knockout percentage of below 50 percent and has only managed to stop two opponents in the last eight years. He was also defeated by Kevin Johnson who was destroyed by Joshua in just two rounds.

Who will win Anthony Joshua v Kubrat Pulev fight?
Unless Joshua takes Pulev very lightly, this should go AJ’s way. After all, he should have learned his lesson when Ruiz Jr ripped the world titles away from him. Joshua showed in the rematch that he has learned from it and even if wasn’t a terrific performance, he was solid, and we expect more of the same this weekend.
Looking at betting opportunities, it is not a surprise to see that he is the massive favourite with the bookmakers. The best bet is on the Round Betting markets. Pulev doesn’t have devastating punching power, but still, Joshua would have to be very careful. We expect AJ to stay focused for the first half of the fight as he knows he can pick Pulev apart later on. As soon as the challenger begins to get tired, we expect Joshua to go more in attack and get the job done. Backing Joshua to win by KO, TKO or DQ looks the best bet here, also considering that three of his last nine wins have arrived in the 7th round. As soon as the fight is over, his mind will surely go to the massive domestic bout with Tyson Fury in 2021.
