Joshua vs Klitschko: Sky Bet preview

Anthony Joshua is Sky Bet's odds-on favourite to successfully defend his IBF world heavyweight title for a third time at 2/5 but his opponent Wladimir Klitschko is 9/4 to become champion once again.

The 2012 Olympic champion has steamrolled his way through his 18 professional fights since joining the paid ranks a year after winning gold in London, beating all his opponents via knockout.

In fact, Joshua has only been taken beyond the third round twice in his pro career when Dillian Whyte (December 2015) and Dominic Breazeale (June 2016) both took him to the seventh - but there can be little doubt this will be his toughest test to date.

That said, Klitschko hasn't fought since a lacklustre performance against Tyson Fury saw him lose his WBA, IBF and WBO titles in November 2015 and he'll be 41 when he steps into the ring with 27-year-old Joshua.

The Londoner is 4/6 to win via KO/TKO or DQ and 6/1 to triumph on points for the first time in his professional career while Klitschko can be backed at 100/30 and 7/1 for those respective methods of victory.
