British ex-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) cannot lose in the upcoming fight against American Jermaine Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs), which is scheduled for April 1 in London (England), since the third failure in a row , and earlier he was twice beaten by Alexander Usik, will lead Anthony’s career at least to a standstill.
About it in an interview
BBC 5 Live Boxing said Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.
“There is a lot of pressure on AJ because if he doesn’t win the upcoming fight, then we will have a big problem,” Hearn said.
At the same time, the functionary does not agree with those who consider Franklin a passing option, which is doomed to fall at the mercy of the returning Joshua.
“Tyson Fury, after beating Wilder and White, went out to fight Derek Chisora,” recalls Eddie. – And Joshua, after two defeats from Usyk, will fight against Franklin, who, according to many, beat White. I think it’s a really tough fight.”
Hearn also responded to White’s indignation and mats about the rematch with Joshua.
