Anthony Joshua has been told that his career will not be over should he be beaten by Jermaine Franklin this weekend at the O2 Arena in London.
This comes from Franklin himself, who has said that a defeat would not spell the end for Joshua despite the promises of the 33-year-old earlier this week. 'AJ' embarks on a new chapter in his career this weekend after thee defeats in five fights, with the prospect of a defeat to Franklin extending that run.
He has hired a new coach, Derrick James, for the fight, with the hope that they can defeat a man who lost on his UK debut in November in a narrow points defeat to Dillian Whyte. Franklin, 29, has a 21-1 record, with 14 knockouts to his name and takes on Joshua, who has won 22 of his 27 fights by knockout.
