Anthony Joshua has admitted that he isn't excited about his fight with Jermaine Franklin because it's not at Wembley Stadium.
Joshua, 33, looks to pick up his first win over two years against Franklin on Saturday after suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in his past fights. 'AJ' fought at Wembley when he lost his titles to the Ukrainian in September 2021 with their rematch last August taking place in Saudi Arabia.
'AJ' fights at The O2 arena for the first time in almost seven years when he faces Franklin, who suffered his first professional defeat last November to Dillian Whyte in a controversial decision. Joshua has maintained that fighting at The O2 arena is something that doesn't excite him and he would much rather be competing at Wembley.
