Anthony Joshua takes on Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on Friday night
Friday night sees a massive night of Boxing take place with Anthony Joshua facing Francis Ngannou as part of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua is the heavy favourite to win the bout at 1/4 with bookmakers as the British fighter is looking to replicate Tyson Fury's win over Ngannou back in October.
Fury's stock crumbled after that victory after Ngannou dropped him in his debut fight and Francis will be looking to do one better here.
Ngannou's odds to win the fight are 11/4 and he'll be wanting to put in a similar performance that he did in October where many thought he was robbed against Fury.
Paddy Power's latest betting odds give an implied probability of 26% that Ngannou wins the fight tomorrow with Joshua's chances at 80%.
| Anthony Joshua v Francis Ngannou Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Anthony Joshua | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Draw | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Francis Ngannou | 11/4 | 26.7% |
What the expert says...
Zhilei Zhang faces Joseph Parker in the co-main event of the evening
Zhilei Zhang takes on Joseph Parker on the undercard on Friday night in what looks like a highly competitive bout on paper.
Both fighters are looking to push themselves into contention for world titles with a big win here and Zhang comes into this one with big pedigree.
Zhang won back-to-back fights against Joe Joyce, stopping the British fighter on both occasions and he'll be hoping to do the same here.
| Zhilei Zhang v Joseph Parker Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Zhilei Zhang | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Draw | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Joseph Parker | 15/8 | 34.8% |
