Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will defend his three belts against Kubrat Pulev Saturday in front of 1,000 fans at Wembley Arena on DAZN.
Joshua (23-1, 21 KO) has been out of the ring since regaining his titles against Andy Ruiz Jr. in their rematch last year. Pulev (28-1, 14 KO) gets the second shot of his career at the heavyweight title after losing to Wladimir Klitschko in 2014.
The odds in this fight are unsurprisingly in favor of Joshua (he's a -900 favorite on the moneyline) against 39-year-old who is coming off a 13-month layoff. However, Joshua will likely never be seen as a lock after losing to Ruiz in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history last June.
Still, oddsmakers see the heavyweight champ closing the show against Pulev rather quickly — BetMGM lists Joshua's odds to win by knockout at -250 (71.43% implied odds).
