British boxing observer Simon Jordan is known for his bright epithets – he will give odds even to his American colleague Teddy Atlas.
The expert commented on the return to the ring after two consecutive defeats of compatriot heavyweight Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) – on April 1 in London (England) he will fight with American Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs).
“If Joshua doesn’t roll over Franklin, you can safely and completely write him off,”
sure Jordan. Consider it spent then. I’ve always been a little skeptical about his level. I always thought that the path to titles and recognition was built too smoothly for him. Well, you know, such a bull on a clean track without obstacles. And every time the level of opposition was made even a little more difficult for him, he started to have problems.”
Despite this, Jordan is looking forward to “seeing him make a big return to the ring. I want to see how he will shut people’s throats … Including me.
The Swedish big man knows for sure why Joshua chose Franklin. All because of Usyk. Jermain, by the way, believes that “with the Ukrainian, Anthony looked so-so.”
