Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has insisted there is nothing to worry about despite low ticket sales for his comeback fight with Jermaine Franklin.
The two-time world heavyweight champion is returning to the ring on April 1, moving from the massive UK stadiums he has become accustomed to in recent years to The O2 arena; a considerably smaller venue. And despite having fewer tickets to sell than his last few UK bouts, Joshua has struggled to sell out the London venue, where he hasn't fought since the summer of 2016.
But Hearn is confident the arena will be full on fight night, declaring that sales are not as slow as is being reported and that they have just a few hundred tickets left to sell. The Matchroom Boxing boss has overseen Joshua's entire career as a professional, and in 2021 signed him to a lifetime deal.
