Joshua v Takam betting: The expert's view
ANTHONY JOSHUA’S mantra was “I don’t get paid overtime” when he breezed up the divisions.
And he can safely make plans for Saturday night knowing that his fight against Carlos Takam will not go the distance.
He will win but the question is: When?
I like AJ to win in rounds 7-9, which pays out at with Sun Bets. WALLY DOWNES JR
Who is Carlos Takam?
Carlos Takam is a 36-year-old French-Cameroonian professional boxer.
He previously knocked out Britain's Michael Sprott in five rounds but was beaten on points by current WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker earlier this year.
In his last fight, Takam beat Marcin Rekowski for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental Heavyweight title in four rounds.
As a result of Pulev injuring his shoulder in sparring, Takam will step in for his biggest fight as he takes on Joshua for the WBA and IBF World Heavyweight titles.
