The Bloody Elbow staff unanimously agrees that unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) is going to be too much for Alexander Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOs) in front of an expected 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Joshua is coming off a unanimous decision win over Joseph Parker, whereas Russia’s Povetkin knocked out David Price on the undercard of that Joshua-Parker fight. Povetkin is Joshua’s WBA mandatory challenger, but in the event he pulls off the upset, he’ll possess three of the four major title belts at heavyweight, with Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury set to vie for Wilder’s WBC crown in December.
