Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) enters this fight the same way he has his previous 20 bouts: the favorite. The British knockout king will be a huge betting fave against Parker when the two enter the ring, currently going off at -700. Joshua has been a favorite of differing varieties throughout his career. He closed at -5000 against Carlos Takam last October and was a slim -200 against former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko in April 2017.
The number has surprisingly come down a bit from the open at -1200 for Joshua. Parker, meanwhile, will be an underdog for the first time in his career. He was a slight favorite over Hughie Fury in his latest bout last September.
