Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday.
The Briton is looking to return to winning ways after suffering two straight defeats to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua was outpointed by Usyk in September 2021 and 2022, losing the heavyweight titles in the first of the two fights, and failing to regain the belts in the second.

The 33-year-old is now taking his first step towards the summit of heavyweight boxing, by facing American 29-year-old Franklin, who lost in November to Dillian Whyte.
And according to Sports Lens, Joshua is set for another major payday this weekend. He is allegedly on course to earn roughly £10million for the bout, proving he remains one of the biggest attractions in boxing.
Meanwhile, Franklin is set to receive approximately £800,000 for Saturday’s main event, a figure which could rise to over £1million when factoring in sponsorship deals and the US star’s potential victory.
