Joshua v Klitschko

This fight has come far sooner than anyone ever expected (if at all) and it's one which will surely be separating all in the boxing world, as it's possible to make a great case for either fighter.

Joshua, unbeaten in 18 professional fights, and every one of those by knock-out has proved himself every step of the way in his relatively short career. There is no doubt he's earnt his shot at beating the best heavyweight in recent history.

There are doubts however. Joshua has never been beyond the 7th round, so his ability to last the distance against a man who will surely frustrate him is the obvious concern.

While Tyson Fury overcame Klitschko to begin the potential downfall of the Ukrainian, he is an altogether different animal to Joshua and that shouldn't be taken as a sign that Klitschko is now a spent force.

Joshua is also unproven against really world class opponents. Of course he's had some decent scalps, but he's yet to face a man like Wladimir and for that reason we simply can't have him strutting out as the 4/9 favourite in this. We shouldn't forget that the stoppage of Dylan Whyte was far from a walk-in the park as well.

Of course, at 41, Klitschko will have his critics as well, but when have we seen odds of 9/4 about this fighter? It's been a very very long time that's for sure.

For me, Klitschko gets the nod at 9/4. If Joshua wins, and he very well might, he will be justifiably the one to be shot out for years to come in all likelihood, but this might have come just a little too early for him.

Klitschko to win at 9/4
