Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin Results, Prelims & Main Card

Anthony Joshua’s in-ring return to 2023 will be against Jermaine Franklin as the pair headline a Matchroom Boxing Event on Dazn on April 1, 2023.

Joshua’s current record stand at 24-3 and 2 out of those 3 losses have come in his last two bouts against Oleksandr Usyk. This is considered a tune-up fight for Joshua as he has a new team in place and would try to improve his game. He has already weighed in at 255 lbs, the heaviest he has been in his career. What other changes will we see in this fight?

For Jermaine Franklin, this is an opportunity to impress once again after a strong showing against Dillian Whyte in November last year. While Whyte handed him the first loss of his career, it was more due to some shoddy scoring than Franklin’s performance. Will he be able to upset Joshua here?

The event is set to start at 11:45 AM ET or 4:45 PM GMT with prelims card. The main undercard has 4 more bouts other than the main event and features the likes of Campbell Hatton, Austin Williams, Galai Yafai, and Fabio Wardley vs Michael Coffie in the co-main event over WBA Continental Heavyweight title.
