Anthony Joshua has admitted he is ready to leave the "dead" UK and return to the US ahead of his comeback fight.
Joshua will return to the ring this weekend for the first time since losing his Saudi Arabia revenge mission against Oleksandr Usyk last August. He will take on Jermaine Franklin at London's O2 arena on Saturday night as he looks to regain momentum in his heavyweight career after back-to-back defeats.
Stakes are extremely high for Joshua who will be roared on by a raucous home crowd in familiar territory. However it will seem different for Joshua to be back given he has now flown out to the US where he has been based for training camp alongside new trainer Derrick James.
