Joshua: Sky Bet preview Charles Martin vs Anthony Joshua
Wednesday 6 April 2016 13:07, UK
Anthony Joshua is a favourite to become world champion against Charles Martin - but what else are Sky Bet offering?
The British heavyweight sensation has the opportunity to become a world champion in only his 16th professional fight when he faces Martin on Saturday night - live on Sky Sports Box Office - and our colleagues at Sky Bet have him a red-hot 1/6 favourite to make it 'sweet 16'.
Reigning IBF champion Martin (23-0-1, 21KOs) can be backed at 4/1 with the draw available at 40s.
Former Olympic gold medallist Joshua, 26, has won 14 times inside the first three rounds and is 8/1 to win in the first against American Martin, 7/1 in the second and 13/2 in the third, while the Watford-born boxer is 2/1 to win in rounds 1-3 in the grouped round betting market.
Southpaw Martin, 29, is also an explosive puncher and has halted 15 opponents inside the first three rounds. He is 125/1 to win in the opening 60 seconds and 50/1 to win in either round one, two or three.
Joshua (15-0, 15KOs) to win inside the distance is 2/7 and by points 13/2, while Martin is 5/1 to win early and 22/1 by way of the scorecards.
Last time out, Joshua was taken seven rounds by Dillian Whyte - his longest bout to date - and it is 14/1 he wins in the same round again.
There are also plenty of specials on offer with Joshua to win after being knocked down available at 8/1, while both fighters to be knocked down is 12/1.
The champion to be knocked down is odds-on at 1/6, while Martin to win after being knocked down is on offer at 14s.
Joshua to be put down is 4/1 and for it to happen between rounds 1-6 is 6/1.
And one that certainly could have plenty of support is Joshua to win inside rounds 1-7 and for British rival Tyson Fury to get into the ring after the fight is 2/5.
