Boxing
Thank goodness decent boxing is back after the Christmas break. Although I think that, just on balance, Eubank Jr is likely to win, Groves is far too long at 17/11. On 3 March Deontay Wilder is ridiculously good value at 4/7. Ortiz is a slow lump who is massively overrated and the powers that be will not tolerate a drugs cheat as WBC champion, let alone disturbing the road to Joshua/Wilder. On 5 May Bomber Bellew is another great bet at 2/1 against Haye (7/15).
