Anthony Joshua has faced-off with rival Jermaine Franklin ahead of his heavyweight return in April.
The British heavyweight will return for the first time since losing to Oleksandr Usyk when he takes on American contender Franklin on April 1 at London's O2 arena. A win for Joshua will likely revive talks over a second meeting with long-term foe Dillian Whyte who marginally outpointed Franklin late last year.
Joshua flew back to London from his US training camp with new coach Derrick James to attend a press conference to launch their showdown. And 'AJ' came face-to-face with Franklin for the first time, as the pair held a tense gaze at the front of stage in front of the watching world.
