    Just seen the odds and Joshua is a 5/1 on favourite.
    Haven't seen much of Martin before his win to be honest.

    5/1 is free money, put on 5k and you get a guaranteed free 1k. Martin has 0 chance.

    Martin is big & has a decent jab but that's about it, it would be a big upset if he pulled it off.

    A 6ft 5ins southpaw with an 88% KO percentage is always going to have a chance. Southpaws give all heavyweights sleepless nights...

    Martin will stop Joshua. This is going to be a re run of Bruno v Witherspoon.

    He has a chance if he paces himself correctly and Joshua gasses. That said, the form book suggests this isn't going past six.

    The Femi chin is not granite but the only thing you should pick Martin for is an nhs ward.

    Easy money to be made on Martin winning this! Joshua is a level below Martin!

    Those of you totally dismissing Martin's chances are naive as hell. Joshua has no jab. Zero jab. His jab doesn't exist. Outjabbed comprehensively by a relative midget with a poor jab himself in Whyte.

    Martin is 6'5" and southpaw. When has Joshua ever faced a competent southpaw. Peter Fury rates Martin as the 5th best heavyweight in the world. He has a Fuking good chance of causing an upset here. Joshua has to take him out early, he's all right hand and it's his only hope of winning.

    But look at any of Martin's highlight clips on you tube, he has no defence and his head is sticking straight up like the head on a spoon. He'll be knocked out very quickly imo.

    Yes.

    I remember reading how dreadful Whyte was on here and he wouldn't make it out of the first round.

    Martin would beat Whyte 19 times out of 20.

    This is by far the toughest fight of Joshua's career. Martin should be the marginal favourite IMO.

    For all those who believe Joshua will 'destroy' Martin, can you list just his top 3 impressive Pro wins that give you this confidence?
