AJ hasn't fought since losing his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk, the second of back-to-back defeats to the Ukrainian.
His next assignment is Jermaine Franklin, and Joshua knows nothing less than victory will do in the ultra-competitive heavyweight division.

What he said...
Anthony Joshua: "I'm just so happy I can get back to work and get on with my job. It's the worst time [to fight me]. The more he talks the bigger grave he digs for himself. I could say a lot of things about him, but I respect my opponent. I'm prepared for a 12-rounder but I do believe in my ability and my counter-punching to put a dent in Jermaine."
