Anthony Joshua takes on the American Jermaine Franklin in his comeback bout following successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua was beaten by Usyk for the second time in August last year having first lost to the Ukrainian in September 2021.
Joshua now faces Franklin as he aims to return to winning ways having reached something of a crossroads in his career. A highly-publicised all-British blockbuster fight against Tyson Fury has been mooted for several years but now looks all but dead in the water.
Joshua has weighed in at a career heaviest 18st 3lbs for Saturday’s heavyweight contest. Franklin, meanwhile, weighed in at 16st 10lbs.
