Anthony Joshua has been labelled a "flat track bully" ahead of his heavyweight return fight against Jermaine Franklin.
British heavyweight Joshua is set to return for the first time since losing in a sequel with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia last August, when he takes on Jermaine Franklin on April 1 at London's O2 arena. It has been a tough couple of years for Joshua who has fallen to two defeats against the Ukrainian, but has linked up with new trainer Derrick James as he searches for a revival in his heavyweight career.
Joshua is widely regarded as an elite-level fighter despite falling to defeat, with many suggesting he needs to recover his more aggressive power-punching traits that saw him rise to the top of the sport. And radio host Simon Jordan has suggested he should next look to face British rivals Daniel Dubois or Joe Joyce.
