Anthony Joshua v Francis Ngannou Tips

Anthony Joshua - By Decision or Technical Decision @ 15/4
Anthony Joshua - To Be Knocked Down & Win @ 7/1

So this Friday night provides us with another massive crossover event as Anthony Joshua takes on MMA star / turned professional boxer Francis Ngannou.

I think it's fair to say that a few months ago many of us would have been calling this a huge mismatch, just as many were ahead of the Tyson Fury v Ngannou fight.

Now, we all saw how that panned out with Ngannou shocking the boxing world by knocking down the world champion, before succumbing to a controversial, in some peoples opinions, split-decision defeat.

AJ rightly goes into the fight as the favourite, but how will he get the job done?

Well, personally, I'd be very impressed by him if he was able to stop Ngannou, so I will be looking at the 15/4 on offer for the two-time heavyweight champion of the world to win on points.

A little prop bet that I also like the look of is for AJ to repeat the circumstances of Fury's win over Ngannou last year, by winning the fight having been put on the canvas.

You can get 7/1 on that playing out on Friday night.
