British heavyweight Anthony Joshua will fight Jermaine Franklin on 1st April at the O2 Arena in London.

Joshua, who has lost back-to-back fights to world champion Oleksandr Usyk, will be seeking a first win since beating Kubrat Pulev in 2020.

Franklin was beaten on points by Briton Dillian Whyte in November, marking a first loss in 22 fights for the 29-year-old American.

Joshua says he is looking forward to stepping back into the ring.

He says mentally and physically he feels ready and he wants to put on a show and impress his coach as he has high standards.
