Understanding the Main Types of Boxing Bets
Before placing a bet, it’s important to understand the most common boxing markets.
Betting on the Fight Winner
The simplest bet is on who will win the fight.
-
You pick either Jake Paul or Anthony Joshua
-
It doesn’t matter how they win
-
If your fighter wins, your bet wins
Anthony Joshua is priced as a strong favourite across all bookmakers, while Jake Paul is a big outsider.
This market is straightforward, but favourites often come with very short odds, meaning smaller potential returns.
Betting on Method of Victory
Many bettors prefer method-of-victory markets, which offer bigger odds.
Common options include:
-
Win by knockout (KO/TKO)
-
Win by points or decision
-
Win by disqualification
These bets require you to predict how the fight ends, not just who wins. The more specific the outcome, the higher the odds.
Round Betting Explained
Some bookmakers also offer betting on which round the fight will end in.
For example:
-
Joshua to win in rounds 1–3
-
Paul to win in rounds 7–9
This type of bet carries higher risk and is generally better suited to more confident or experienced bettors.
How Odds Work in Boxing
Odds show:
-
How likely an outcome is believed to be
-
How much you stand to win
Short odds indicate a strong favourite. Long odds indicate an outsider. Beginners often start with simpler bets rather than chasing big prices.
How to Bet Using Sky Bet
Sky Bet is popular with beginners due to its clear layout.
To place a bet:
-
Log in and search for the fight
-
Select your chosen market
-
Click the odds to add them to your bet slip
-
Enter your stake
-
Confirm your bet
Sky Bet often highlights enhanced odds and promotions, which can be appealing to new customers.
How to Bet Using Paddy Power
Paddy Power offers similar core markets but often includes:
-
Special bets
-
Alternative outcomes
-
Promotions linked to big fights
The process of placing a bet is the same:
-
Select your market
-
Add to bet slip
-
Enter stake
-
Place bet
Beginners should focus on the main markets first before exploring specials.
How Betfair Is Different
Betfair operates in two ways:
-
Betfair Sportsbook – similar to Sky Bet and Paddy Power
-
Betfair Exchange – bet against other users rather than a bookmaker
On the exchange, you can:
-
Back a fighter to win
-
Lay a fighter (bet that they will lose)
Beginners may prefer starting with the sportsbook, as the exchange requires a bit more understanding.
Deciding How Much to Bet
A key rule for beginners is only bet what you can afford to lose.
Helpful tips:
-
Set a small budget
-
Avoid chasing losses
-
Don’t place multiple complex bets at once
Boxing is unpredictable, and even strong favourites can be beaten.
Should Beginners Use Offers?
Promotions and betting offers can be useful, especially for new customers, but always:
-
Read the terms
-
Understand stake limits
-
Know how winnings are paid
Offers are best used on bets you would consider anyway, rather than forcing a risky selection.
Final Tips for First-Time Bettors
If this is your first time betting on a boxing match:
-
Keep it simple
-
Understand the market before betting
-
Compare odds across sites
-
Don’t feel pressured to bet
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua is a high-profile event, but betting should always be approached calmly and responsibly.
Final Thoughts
Betting on Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua can be straightforward once you understand the basics. Whether you choose Sky Bet, Paddy Power or Betfair, the key is knowing what you’re betting on and why.
By starting with simple markets and sensible stakes, beginners can enjoy the fight while learning how boxing betting works.
