Anthony Joshua will step out at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night in front of a home crowd as he takes on Jermaine Franklin on his return to the ring.
AJ fights at the venue which became a second home to him between 2015 and 2016, with four successive fights, he now returns after seven years to take on Franklin. The American had been unbeaten before losing to Dillian Whyte at Wembley Arena in November and is expected to put up a strong fight against the former two-time world champion.
Joshua, 33, will fight in London for the first time in 18 months, with a home crowd expected to pack out the East London venue to welcome back one of their heroes. Joshua won Olympic gold in the city in 2012 and embarks on a new era on Saturday night against Franklin with a new coach in the form of Derrick James.
