ODDS TUMBLE ON 'PRINCE' CHARLES MARTIN RETAINING HIS IBF HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN - BUT JOSHUA REMAINS ODDS-ON TO TRIUMPH PhilBoxing.com Thu, 07 Apr 2016 74% OF BETS PLACED ARE ON ?PRINCE? CHARLES TO RETAIN HIS IBF CROWN AJ REMAINS ODDS-ON FAVOURITE FOR WORLD TITLE ? ?Prince? Charles Martin?s odds cut from 5/1 to 7/2 to defend world title ? Anthony Joshua?s odds pushed out from 1/8 to 2/9 to beat the ?Prince? ? 72% of bets on the outcome of the fight placed on a C Martin KO win William Hill, the proud sponsors of Martin v Joshua, have reported a swell of support behind ?Prince? Charles Martin to retain his IBF World Heavyweight title at the 02 on Saturday night. The bookmakers initially made the St Louis native a 5/1 shot to win the bout but hundreds of bets ranging from ?10 to ?5000 have resulted in his big fight odds being slashed to 7/2. On the flip side - Anthony Joshua, the 2012 Olympic Champion, has seen his odds pushed out from 1/8 to 2/9 to claim a maiden world title. Both fighters have phenomenal knock-out records. Joshua has a flawless 15 KO?s from 15 fights, while Martin has stopped 21 of his 24 opponents. These stats have unsurprisingly lead punters to favour a KO as the most likely outcome of the fight. The majority of bets on the method of victory (72%) have been on Martin to win by a KO. Joshua is 3/10 to KO Martin and 8/1 to do so in the very first round. ?Punters are starting to believe that ?Prince? Charles has a real chance of beating Anthony Joshua at the 02 on Saturday night and although AJ is still certain to remain favourite to take the IBF title, he?ll be a much bigger price than most people predicted?, said William Hill spokesman Tony Kenny The undercard is littered with top British boxers. Lee Selby (1/7) defends his IBF Featherweight title against Eric ?The Outlaw? Hunter (9/2), while WBA Bantamweight king Jamie McDonnell is a 1/50 chance to defend his crown against late stand-in Fernando Vargas (12/1). ?Saint? George Groves (1/33) will be hoping to stake a claim for a fourth world title shot by beating the young Scot - David Brophy (10/1). Another boxer who will be looking to make a big impression at the O2 is Nigel Benn?s son Conor. Benn Junior, making his pro-debut on Saturday, is rated a 1/200 shot to defeat Luke ?The Nuke? Kelleher who can be backed at 25/1. There are a lot of big things expected from the novice and he?s already rated a 5/1 shot by William Hill to win a world title by 2025. ** You can catch all the action live on Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday night.
