SPURNED WORM
Girls bet £2m on hunk
SCIENTISTS have discovered a worm that hasn’t had sex for 18million years – the Diploscapter pachys clones itself.
SMITTEN women boxing fans have thrown their weight behind Anthony Joshua to land tonight’s big fight showdown.
Joshua is a knockout with the ladies after his rags-to-riches rise to triple world heavyweight glory.
They have staked an estimated £2million on the hunk to win.
And bookies could be taken to the cleaners if he pulls it off.
Betting on boxing is usually a “men only” domain.
Joshua will earn a reported £10m minimum and is a staggering 1-66 to win.
He is such a big hit with the ladies they have backed the Brit to retain his three belts in tonight’s showdown against Cameroon-born ® Carlos Takam, 36, at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. Bookmakers believe £20m will be wagered on the brawl – with nearly all the cash going on Joshua, 28. Many female punters are attracted by his devotion to his mum, Yeta Odusanya, with whom he shared a former council flat. Bookies say Floyd Mayweather’s recent victory over Conor McGregor has swelled interest. One said: “Women have made a huge difference in the market. Joshua is an incredible draw in the female department.” Alexander Kostin, of Bonuscodebets.co.uk, said: “One in 10 punters are female who tend to go for long odds.”
