Anthony Joshua fight TV channel, start time and how to live stream

Briton Anthony Joshua will look to bounce back from two straight losses as he faces American Jermaine Franklin in London.

Franklin is coming off the back of a controversial loss to Dillian Whyte, where he impressed on the big stage in front of a huge audience.

Joshua has admitted that he is completely motivated by money for this fight, saying: "I like making money. Straight up. Like, this is a prizefighting sport.

"I’ve been broke. My family has been broke. I know what this s**t means, and I do it because I’m good at it and I hustle hard. When it’s all said and done, no one will care about me no more. So, I’ve got to make the most of it while I’m here."

Here is everything you need to know about the fight.

What's the Anthony Joshua v Jermaine Franklin prize money?

At this point, it is unclear how much money each fighter will earn from the bout. However, it's possible to make an educated guess when looking at fight purses for previous fights.

In his first fight against Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua made a whopping $13.6M (£11M). With the pay-per-view fight bonuses, he picked up $17M (£13.7M) in total. The rematch was a different story thanks to the weath of Saudi Arabia, which hosted the fight. Joshua is said to have earned up to £50m.

Franklin has nowhere near the amount of pull that Joshua has, therefore he has a much lower payout for his fights. According to Total Sportal, Franklin made $500K (£404K) in his previous fight against Dillian Whyte. With pay-per-view bonuses, he earned $1.5M (£1.2M).

Joshua will no doubt take the lion's share of the prize money, but will not earn as much as he did against Usyk given the gravity of that fight in comparison to this one. Franklin will no doubt take home one of his biggest payouts.
