American Jermaine Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs) was specially selected for ex-world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), so that the Briton looked good in a comeback after two consecutive defeats from Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0 , 13 KOs). So says former challenger from their division, Michael Hunter.
The American thinks it’s a “terrible” fight.
“I think it’s a good fit for Anthony because of his simplicity,” Hunter said.
Pro Boxing Fans.
Michael believes that, “perhaps for Joshua personally, this is a good option.”
Bellew compared Franklin to Usyk
“But as for the fight for the fans, no, this is not it,” he shook his head in displeasure.
Former world heavyweight champion Bellew believes that Anthony “must pulverize Franklin, blow his head off.” Earlier, Haye shared his opinion about this fight. While everyone is writing Jermaine off the bill, he savagely threatens Anthony in the spirit of Wilder.
This meeting will take place on April 1st at O2 Arena in London (England).
