Anthony Joshua to win by KO (-350)

Joshua's devastating power makes this the safest play on the board. The former two-time unified champion brings 25 knockouts in 28 career wins, including three stoppages in his last four victories. His most recent knockout work came against Francis Ngannou in March 2024, where he needed just two rounds to flatten the former UFC heavyweight champion with surgical precision.

Joshua holds massive physical advantages over Paul, standing five inches taller with a six-inch reach edge. Paul has never faced anyone remotely close to Joshua's caliber, and his defensive vulnerabilities become glaring against elite competition. Paul drops his hands frequently when moving and punching, crosses his feet during exchanges, and lacks the head movement to avoid incoming power shots.

Anthony Joshua to record 2 or more knockdowns (+100)

This prop offers excellent value given Joshua's finishing patterns and Paul's defensive limitations. When Joshua hurts his opponents, he tends to pour it on with multiple knockdowns before securing the stoppage. His knockout of Ngannou featured two separate knockdowns in the opening rounds, demonstrating his ability to repeatedly find the target once he's established his timing.

Paul has shown vulnerability to pressure fighters throughout his career, and his footwork deficiencies leave him susceptible to getting caught in bad positions multiple times per fight. Against Tommy Fury, the only legitimate boxer Paul has faced, he was exposed defensively and struggled to adjust his strategy when confronted with superior technical skills.

Over 2.5 rounds (-163)

While Joshua is the overwhelming favorite to score the knockout, Paul's durability and survival instincts suggest this fight could extend into the middle rounds. Paul has only been stopped once in his career by split decision, never by knockout, and he's shown the ability to weather storms against less skilled opposition.

Joshua's recent knockout of Ngannou came in round two, but his stoppage of Robert Helenius went seven rounds and Otto Wallin lasted five. Paul will likely employ a cautious gameplan early, using movement and distance management to avoid Joshua's power in the opening rounds before Joshua's superior conditioning and ring IQ take over in rounds three through five.
