Expert Betting Tips
This bout is a technical one to call. Both fighters have been impressive throughout their careers. Anthony is in good form and will be looking to defile his age disadvantage coming into this bout; he surely will be looking to make a statement, while Josh will be hoping to have a new title holder status. But here is the twist: Warrington is ineligible to win Belt dᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚue to the fact that if he wins, the title will become vacant as IBF ruled not worthy challenger. The safe bet in this bout is the round will surely ex🐽ceed six. I'm standing with Anthony to win this.
