Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua

To Win the Fight

Anthony Joshua has never been a fighter people ignore. His biggest nights fill stadiums, his defeats become national talking points and the next move is usually being discussed before he has left the ring.

The basic CV still carries serious weight. Olympic gold in 2012. Two spells as unified heavyweight champion. Thirty professional wins, 27 of them inside the distance. Four defeats. When Anthony Joshua betting markets open, there is normally far more to consider than a simple pick on the winner.

You will find AJ’s upcoming contests alongside the rest of BetVictor’s boxing betting. The choice of markets depends on the fight, so it is worth opening the event rather than assuming the same options will be offered every time.

Tyson Fury should be next. The contracts are signed and, after years of false starts, British boxing finally appears close to getting the heavyweight fight it has talked about for so long.

One important detail remains unsettled, at least publicly. Reports have identified Cardiff and December 2026 as the likely setting, with 11 December discussed as a target date. That was not a final announcement at the time of writing. Treat the latest Fury vs Joshua odds and event details as the authority on the date and venue.

It is a fascinating matchup even without a belt. Joshua is the straighter, more explosive puncher. Fury is larger, awkward and comfortable changing his approach midway through a bout. Neither man will want this one appearing on the wrong side of his record. Our Tyson Fury odds page looks at the contest from Fury’s side.

Joshua’s July comeback in Jeddah was meant to clear the road to Fury. For one round, it threatened to wreck the whole plan.

Kristian Prenga put him down twice in the opener. The first knockdown arrived almost immediately, and the second left AJ needing the bell. Plenty of favourites have failed to come back from a start like that.

Joshua did. He walked out for round two, found Prenga with a series of heavy right hands and knocked him into the ropes. The count ended at 2:43. A wild fight was over, AJ had his 30th professional win, and the Fury conversation could continue.

It also gave anyone interested in Anthony Joshua betting a useful warning. Heavyweight odds can look one-sided before the bell, but one clean punch changes the picture very quickly.

Not every bout gets an identical menu. These are the Anthony Joshua betting markets you are most likely to see:

Bout Winner: Choose Joshua, his opponent or the draw. Backing AJ alone will not cover a drawn result.
Method of Victory: Call a Joshua stoppage or a points win. You can make the equivalent pick for the other boxer.
Round Betting: Name the round in which the fight ends. Some cards also offer groups such as rounds one to three.
Fight to Go the Distance: A yes-or-no bet on whether the scheduled rounds are completed.
Total Rounds: Take the over or under on the line displayed. Settlement uses the official time of the finish.
Fighter and Round Group: Combine the winner with a section of the fight, such as Joshua in rounds four to six.

Read the market title before you commit. A knockout-only selection may be settled differently from KO, TKO or disqualification, while technical decisions can affect distance bets. The bet slip will show the current price and potential return.

Start with the opponent. A mobile southpaw presents AJ with a different problem from an aggressive puncher who meets him in the centre. Reach, recent form, age and experience over 12 rounds all feed into the opening prices.

Then there is Joshua himself. How long has he been out? Did he take damage last time? Has he changed his corner? The Prenga fight is a perfect example of why those questions matter. AJ ultimately won, yet the two first-round knockdowns may influence how bettors assess him against Fury.

Fight week brings another round of information. The public workout offers a glimpse, the weigh-in confirms each boxer’s size and late news can shift the market. None of it guarantees what happens when the bell rings. It simply changes the argument, and sometimes the price with it.

Here is how AJ’s latest run reads:

July 2026: Beat Kristian Prenga by knockout, round two
December 2025: Beat Jake Paul by knockout, round six
September 2024: Lost to Daniel Dubois by knockout, round five
March 2024: Beat Francis Ngannou by knockout, round two
December 2023: Beat Otto Wallin by stoppage after round five
August 2023: Beat Robert Helenius by knockout, round seven
April 2023: Beat Jermaine Franklin by unanimous decision
August 2022: Lost to Oleksandr Usyk by split decision
September 2021: Lost to Oleksandr Usyk by unanimous decision
December 2020: Beat Kubrat Pulev by knockout, round nine

Those results leave Joshua at 30-4, with 27 stoppage wins. Andy Ruiz Jr, Usyk twice and Dubois account for the four losses. Ruiz is the only one he has faced again and beaten.

Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley is still the obvious place to begin. Joshua was hurt, dropped and asked a question that had not come up during his rapid climb through the division. He recovered, floored Klitschko twice in the eleventh and forced the stoppage. It felt enormous at the time. It still does.

Then came the shock. Andy Ruiz Jr replaced Jarrell Miller at short notice in 2019 and ruined Joshua’s American debut. AJ returned six months later with none of the recklessness of the first contest. He stayed disciplined, boxed at range and reclaimed his titles on points.

Oleksandr Usyk required another kind of answer. Joshua could not find it across 24 rounds, losing first in London and then by split decision in Jeddah. The Dubois defeat was more sudden: a damaging fifth-round knockout in front of another huge Wembley crowd.

That might have closed the top-level chapter for some heavyweights. Joshua chose to carry on. Wins over Jake Paul and Prenga have brought him to Fury, provided the remaining event details fall into place.
