BOOKIES are predicting a £20million betting bonanza on tonight's big fight special at the O2.
Anthony Joshua, the golden boy of British Boxing, is 2-9 favourite but William Hill revealed 70 per cent of bets they've taken have been on his opponent, IBF title holder Charles Martin.
However, Hills are starting to see some large bets on Joshua winning the fight early. They’ve taken a £2000 wager at 8-1 on AJ winning in the opening round and two £1000 bets at 7-1.
Joshua, who has KO’d all of his 15 pervious opponents, is a short-priced 3-10 shot to stop the defending champ.
Hills spokesman Tony Kenny said: “There’s a split among boxing punters on who will win the fight but one thing everyone can agree on is that this fight won’t go the distance.”
Aside from the boxing there's plenty more sporting action today so let's hear all your tips and chat and Jordan will add his NBA picks below.

Cycling: Paris – Roubaix 2016 (Sunday)
I already tipped Boom earlier in the week and he has been shortened to the 4th favourtie now.
Match-up:
Stybar to beat Kristoff @ 1.85 with WH
Stybar is one of the favourites for me, he was 3rd last year. Can’t see Kristoff stay with the very best tomorrow, he aslo doesn’t have a great record in this race.
Outright winner:
Lars Boom each-way @ 23.00 with Betway (down to 12.00 now)
I tipped him on here a couple of years ago for a Tour de France stage which he won (was 37.00 back then) on the same kind of cobbled roads. Rain is expected just like in the Tour stage. It was a big advantage for him as an ex World Champion in cyclo cross. If the forecast stays like this his odds will shorten without a doubt. Worth a small stake each-way.
More bets on this race tonight.
Cycling: Pais Vasco stage 6
The final stage today is a time trial up and down a mountain.
Match-ups:
Rodriguez to beat Quintana
Pinot to beat Kelderman
Double @ 2.24 with 888 (2.46 with 365)
Both Rodriguez and Pinot are still in contention to win the overall. Rodriguez has been very good and has been better every stage. Not very impressed by Quintana as he was off the pace all week.
Pinot is one of the favourites to win this stage, Kelderman haven’t shown good results in mountain time trials in the past.
Nice one Jordan, always good when the bet is a confident one.
Phoenix Suns -1.5 @ 1.90 (PP) – 2 Points.
Tough spot for the Pelicans tonight… on a b2b and 4th game in 5 days, along with all of their injury issues, i’m expecting tired legs tonight and the Suns will take advantage of that.
The Suns are looking to get 2 wins in a row, after beating the Rockets in Houston a couple of days ago.
Good luck.
AJ to win between rounds 1-3 at 3.10. He looks really confident and at ease. Cant see it lasting much longer if not 1-3
Nice 1 hampy i had some of that! !
Bang good lad AJ. No probs inter
