Anthony Joshua v Eric Molina odds
The champion is unsurprisingly heavily favoured. Anthony Joshua was supposed to be facing Wladimir Klitschko on this date before the Ukrainian pulled out with an injury.
Eric Molina is a ranked fighter and a worthy challenger but realistically he is not the quality opponent the Brit was hoping to book for his last fight of 2016.
Anthony Joshua 1/25, Eric Molina 18/1, draw 50/1

How many rounds will Anthony Joshua v Eric Molina last?
Molina is a talented spoiler with a serious chin - he took one of the hardest hitters in the world into the ninth round when he fought Deontay Wilder last year.
He also has a punch of his own having stunned Wilder in the third round of their fight but realistically he cannot be expected to win.

Joshua meanwhile admitted in a pre-fight press conference that his gameplan would be to stay calm and wait until the Texan tires.
It makes the bookies’ line of under 3.5 rounds look very vulnerable, even though only two of Joshua’s previous 17 opponents have made it to the bell at the end of round three.
