It's good that the quick witted promoter Eddie Hearn overcame Kubrat Pulev’s trauma and less than two weeks before the fight founded a substitute in the face of the more or less decent Carlos Takam. It's bad that even "more or less" in relation to Anthony Joshua at the stage of his 115-kilo career bookmakers perceives no more than a "no chance."
Obviously, the IBF and WBA world heavyweight champion is perceived as an undisputed favorite - 1.03, and even the odds for his early victory look not much better - 1.06. While those who believe in Takam's victory can try their luck with a score of 13 to 1. A win over Joshua Takam can make only with the help of lucky punch - 15 to 1. Victory on points to the French Cameroonians almost has no sense - 34 to 1. This is the same, as the chances of a draw, that is, the minimum.
It is interesting that the victory for Joshua on points is almost equal to Takam's victory - 10 to 1. The most likely outcome considered by bookmakers is the victory of the British in 2-3 rounds.
