Jermaine Franklin claims he has "nothing to worry about" in Anthony Joshua fight

Jermaine Franklin has downplayed Anthony Joshua's punch power ahead of their showdown this weekend.

'AJ' will return to the ring for the first time since losing his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia last August, when he is set to touch gloves with Franklin at London's O2 arena this weekend. Joshua will be looking to regain momentum in his heavyweight career after back-to-back losses to the Ukrainian, and restore his dominant KO record which he held for so many years during his rise.

The British star has come under fire for his tactical approaches to his fights with Usyk, which many have suggested went away from his power-punching style. Franklin has insisted he is unconcerned by any return to his aggressive approach, and believes his fight IQ could see him land some big shots of his own.
