Anthony Joshua Odds & Betting: Bet on Anthony Joshua

One of the biggest names in world heavyweight boxing, Anthony Joshua has been a fixture at the top of the sport for over a decade. A 2012 Olympic gold medallist and two-time unified world heavyweight champion, he is also one of the most explosive punchers Britain has ever produced. With a professional record of 29 wins and 4 losses, 26 of those wins by knockout, AJ remains one of the most backed fighters in the BetVictor sportsbook.

AJ's next fight is a comeback bout, and the opponent is Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga. The date to circle is Saturday 25 July 2026, the place is Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and the bout is scheduled for 12 rounds at heavyweight. They are calling it The Comeback, fitting enough given it is Joshua's first time back in the ring since he stopped Jake Paul inside six rounds last December.

He goes in a heavy favourite, which surprises nobody. Prenga arrives with a perfect-looking 20-1 record and 20 knockouts, but dig into that resume and the picture changes. The wins have all come at regional level, against opponents nowhere near the world top ten, and at 35 the Albanian has somehow never been booked for a full 12-round fight before. Most expect Joshua to deal with him, and to do it before the final bell.

The thing is, this fight matters for reasons that have little to do with Prenga himself. A genuine blockbuster against Tyson Fury, the all-British heavyweight clash fans have spent years waiting on, has finally been signed for the back end of 2026 and is expected to land on Netflix. Joshua simply has to get past Prenga without a slip-up to keep it alive. On paper it looks routine. In practice there is a lot riding on a clean night's work.

There is no shortage of Anthony Joshua betting markets to get stuck into at BetVictor. These are the ones punters tend to gravitate towards:

Bout Winner: About as simple as it gets, you are just backing who wins. Worth remembering a draw counts as its own result, so a Joshua win bet goes down as a loser if the judges call it even.
Method of Victory: Here you are calling how it ends as well as who wins, whether that is KO/TKO, a decision, or a technical decision. With 26 of AJ's 29 wins coming inside the distance, the KO option tends to attract plenty of interest.
Round Betting: This one is all about pinning down when the fight ends, either a specific round or a bracket of rounds. Given Joshua's knockout habit, it is a popular shout.
To Go the Distance: A straight yes or no on whether the fight reaches the final bell. AJ's power means the No side often gets the nod.
Total Rounds: You are picking over or under a set number of rounds here, with the line shifting depending on whether it is a 10 or 12-rounder.

There is also the BetVictor Bet Builder, which lets you stitch a few selections from the same fight into one bet. Something like Anthony Joshua to win by KO/TKO inside rounds one to three, for instance.

Some of the biggest nights British boxing has seen in recent memory have had Joshua at the centre of them. It started with Olympic gold in London in 2012, and the climb to a world title came fast after that. The crowning moment was probably the 2017 war with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley, 90,000 packed in, AJ climbing off the canvas to stop the legendary Ukrainian in the eleventh and announce himself as the real deal.

Not all of it has gone his way, mind. There was the Ruiz shock in 2019, which he avenged in style. Those two Usyk defeats that stripped him of his belts. And the Dubois knockout at Wembley in 2024 that hurt. Yet through every low he has stayed box office, and that comeback win over Jake Paul in December 2025 has teed up what could be the biggest year of his entire career.

Four. That is the number, across a career spanning more than a decade at the very top.

The first one stung the most. Andy Ruiz Jr, June 2019, Madison Square Garden, and nobody saw it coming. Joshua got dropped, got up, got dropped again, and the fight was waved off. He did not dwell on it though. Six months later he was in Saudi Arabia settling the score, boxing clever to take the rematch.

Usyk was a different problem altogether. The Ukrainian simply had his number, beating him on points in London in 2021, then doing it again out in Jeddah a year on. Two belts gone. And the fourth loss? That one came at Wembley in September 2024, Daniel Dubois catching him cold and stopping him in the fifth.

Revenge is still on the table. Both the Usyk and Dubois results are ones AJ would love to put right, and a strong 2026 could open that door.
