Boxing Betting Tips
Anthony Joshua is not cheap but its completely understandable why he commands such an expensive price. With his perfect and powerful record of 20 knockout wins in 20 bouts and with three major Heavyweight title belts he commands respect. Parker is impressive in his own right but his record of achievement pales in comparison to Joshua. Joshua has reached an impressive level of dominance and is now poised for the opportunity to be mentioned as one of the greatest of all time.
