How Joshua copes with the pressure:

Nearly everyone is expecting Anthony Joshua to win the fight. He is priced at odds of 1/12 with most bookmakers and just 1/4 to win by knockout or technical knockout. There is even a lot of talk about Joshua going for a fifth belt (WBC), which is currently held by Deontay Wilder (he fights Luis Ortiz on 3rd March). Making future assumptions is always a danger in boxing. The media scrutiny is intense – will the pressure get to him? Will Parker go for Joshua’s ‘glass-chin’? Parker has taunted Joshua recently, claiming that he will knock him out by landing a punch on his ‘glass-chin’. The inference being that the British fighter has not been truly tested before. Plenty of bettors are backing the New Zealander at odds of 14/1 to win by KO. However, a better bet may be for Parker to win by judges’ decision at 33/1 – his last three fights ended that way, proving Parker can grind out results.

Both fighters will know that they have to put on a show for the thousands of fans in Cardiff and the millions more around the world watching on television. Most think that they will deliver a special bout on the night.
