Punters on Betfair are backing Amir Khan to hit the jackpot against Zab Judah in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The Bolton-born star is just 1-4 to successfully defend his WBA light welterweight crown, and strip his opponent of the IBF version.
Relatively unknown outside of boxing circles until the fight was announced, Judah has been causing a storm by turning up late to press conferences and refusing to speak to British media. For all of the 33-year-old’s posturing this week, odds of 4-1 for a victory suggest that he is likely to taste defeat in Sin City come the weekend.
135lb king Khan is available at Evens to KO his opponent, while he is a 2-1 shot for victory by way of judges’ decision. Judah is a 6-1 chance to win the bout by knockout, while he is out at 17-1 to triumph courtesy of the judges.
Betfair’s Alex Bake said: “Judah is something of an unknown quantity, which makes him a very dangerous foe. But Khan will have done his homework and he’ll know he has to do. Amir is red hot right now and our customers expect him to win.”
Khan v Judah – Betfair bet: 1-4 Khan, 4-1 Judah, 59-1 the draw
Method of victory – Betfair bet: Evens Khan KO, 2-1 Khan decision, 6-1 Judah KO, 17-1 Judah decision
