Boxing Weekend Watch & Bet

Match information

In October, Francis Ngannou proved his attempt to move from the world of mixed martial arts to boxing at the highest level was anything but a gimmick. That night, Ngannou dropped Tyson Fury and lost a narrow split decision, shocking the world even without having his hand raised at the end of the bout. Ngannou looks to score his first professional boxing victory on Friday when he takes on two-time former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After losing back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk -- who will face Fury in May to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion -- Joshua has made easy work of Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin, bringing some strong momentum into the bout with Ngannou. Joshua vs. Ngannou is a compelling fight, with the winner being positioned to possibly face the winner of Fury vs. Usyk, who will likely rematch after their coming clash. That means Ngannou could be fighting for a world championship as soon as his third professional bout. With that in mind, let's take a look at the odds heading into Friday, from the moneyline to some intriguing prop bets for the main event, as well as a look at two of the featured bouts on the undercard.
