The 666Bet logo will be displayed around the ring, as well as on all event artwork, backdrops and media day training rings.

Barry Martin, CEO of 666Bet, said: “After our first taste of boxing, sponsoring July’s ‘Fight For The Right’ event in Manchester, we were really keen to support another sensational boxing card.

“We’re extremely excited to bring fans Anthony Joshua’s first ever title fight, a match-up which could prove to be historic in the context of this young heavyweight prospect’s career.”
