Check out this oddschecker guide, as you look at how to bet on the Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou fight tonight.
Tonight, we are in for chaos, as Anthony Joshua looks to impress in the ring, as he faces Francis Ngannou. If this fight was made a year ago, there would have been question marks over the validity of Ngannou as a Boxer, and that was certainly the case before he fought Tyson Fury in October. Then he floored the champion in the 3rd round...
Sure, Fury got the win in the end, but it was far from convincing and it took a split decision for him to avoid the embarrassment of losing to Ngannou, who was making his Boxing debut.
There was never a doubt that Ngannou possessed Heavyweight Boxing power, but there were concerns over whether he could stand up technically. Following his loss to Fury, Ngannou successfully silenced the critics, and this fight was born...
Now we need to see if Joshua can do what Fury couldn't and that is dispatch of Ngannou comfortably. While it perhaps won't change AJ's legacy, this could be an important fight. If he beats Ngannou in dominating fashion, there will likely be calls for a Fury vs. Joshua fight again. Lose, and it might be a big moment in his career. With questions still to answer, Joshua needs an impressive performance.
Wins over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin are expected rather than eye-catching, and while he dominated Wallin who could have been a dangerous opponent, AJ will be looking for a big knockout victory.
Thanks to Ngannou's performance against Fury, there is plenty of intrigue surrounding this fight, and this is why bookmakers are offering excellent odds and promotions for the Joshua vs. Ngannou fight.
Let's look at the best ways to bet on AJ or indeed Ngannou in this clash of two mega-heavyweight fighters.

Anthony Joshua Boxing Record
Despite some big losses in his career, certainly, in recent years, Anthony Joshua's Boxing Record still makes good reading, as he spent large parts of his career unbeaten before Andy Ruiz and Oleksandr Usyk came along.
Here is Joshua's current record:
Joshua is 27-3-0 in his career with 24 knockouts.
His three losses have come to Ruiz and Usyk (twice).
Joshua has won his last three fights, with his last loss to Usyk coming back in 2022.
Francis Ngannou Boxing Record
Despite Ngannou making a good impression when fighting Tyson Fury last October, that remains his one and only Boxing fight, and he lost, so he is currently 0-1.
His MMA record was 17-3-0 and only two of those losses came in the UFC. Most importantly, Ngannou has never been knocked out, not in the UFC, nor against Tyson Fury in his Boxing debut. Can Joshua be the first person to put him on the canvas for the count?
