ANTHONY JOSHUA

should beat Kubrat Pulev, but the fight may not be the spectacular mismatch billed. The odds make Pulev as big an outsider as Buster Douglas against Mike Tyson, but he has only lost once in his career, a defeat that required one of Wladimir Klitschko’s finest displays. Pulev went toe-to-toe that night, but he is unlikely to make the same mistake this time. He isn’t a big puncher and his style is limited, but it could be more of a grind than a firework display. Joshua is rightly favoured, but this is one to get through, rather than prance.
