Anthony Joshua has admitted he will retire from boxing if he loses to Jermaine Franklin.
Joshua will return this weekend against American heavyweight Franklin at London's O2 arena, as he looks to put his heavyweight career back on track. 'AJ' will be looking to regain momentum after back-to-back losses against new unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, who ended their rivalry with a split decision win over Joshua in Saudi Arabia last August.
A win for the former two-time champion could once again see him set up fights with some of the sport's biggest names including previous rival Dillian Whyte, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. However a loss could be hugely damaging to his time in the ring and will leave him further than ever from the world-level nights.
