Fight fans are putting there money where there mouths are according to bookie Ladbrokes and backing our Boxing Lads all the way to glory in the ring at Excel.
Medal hopes rest upon Anthony Joshua who’s the 11/10 favourite to win gold in the super-heavyweight, and at the other end of the scale Luke Campbell finds himself chalked up at 7/4 to bring it home in the bantamweight.
Freddie Evans (4/1) and Anthony Ogogo (3/1) are among the outsiders in their respective categories but it hasn’t stopped patriotic punters backing victories for the host nation.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “The British boys have got a tough time on their hands on Friday but that’s not deterring the patriotic money from coming in.”
