Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin 2023: Date, Schedule, Venue, Channel, Price & Fight Card

Anthony Joshua Vs Jermaine Franklin has been announced on April 1 at the O2 Arena in England.

Joshua has suffered two straight losses to Oleksandr Usyk; in the first, he was stripped of the WBO, WBA, and IBF titles by unanimous decision. He lost again, this time by a divided vote, in his quest to reclaim his crowns.

In a third matchup with Usyk or a matchup with Tyson Fury for the WBC crown, the former champion hopes to once again be a contender for the world title. Yet, he must first hope that they do not compete against one another or, at the very least, go up against the victor.

Fight Prediction

If Anthony Joshua wants to continue competing against the best heavyweights, he must do well in this match. The Brit needs to be cautious as he faces a potentially dangerous Jermaine Franklin since a third consecutive defeat would be disastrous. In his career, the American has only suffered one defeat, which was in his most recent matchup with Dillian Whyte. Franklin missed out on the scorecards in that game and will need to improve, but he possesses the talent to trouble Joshua. With so much on the line, Joshua should be able to make a statement and hand his opponent his first professional knockout loss.
