Thus, American bookmaker Fanduel highly evaluates the chances of the Ukrainian to defend his titles and offers to bet on his victory with an odds of 1.44. The possible success of Joshua is estimated at 2.72.

Recall, on September, 25 in London, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision of the judges. There was a rematch clause in the contract for the fight, which the British team had already activated.
