The bookies were in favor of Joshua because people were more familiar with him and that greatly influenced on the odds. The bookies made odds to look like a Joshua is a clearly favorite in the fight. But in reality all the odds must be identical.

I've read and watched dozen of boxing specialists reviews. All of them were saying there is no clear underdog and a favorite, and all of them added that Usyk is a very, very inconvenient opponent.

I am even sure, people who made bet, are not even familiar who Usyk is. AJ - huge, heavy, knocked out Klitchko, has titles. People are familiar with boxers from kings weight - heavyweight division. Who is that cruiserweight from Ukrain that want to face champ? No idea. That what majority thought. If we ask people who is champion in cruiser or light heavy, people will just shrug.
