What is at stake for Joshua?
Having not won a fight since beating Kubrat Pulev in 2020, Joshua is trying to rebuild his career. His most recent disappointments came in consecutive defeats against Usyk, but he has not giving up on the idea of reclaiming the heavyweight world title.
Joshua has changed coaches and teamed up with Derrick James to help him rediscover his best form. Our in-depth feature about his preparation for this bout includes details on his coaching team, his new training methods and how recent defeats have barely damaged his marketabilty.
What are they saying?
Speaking this week, Joshua appeared to have few regrets about the way he approached his career before the twin defeats to Usyk. “I was really pushing that undisputed narrative for so long, that road to undisputed hashtag with all of the brands we work with,” Joshua said. “We pushed it, but now we’re at a new stage. We can’t look back. We’re only looking forward and I see a bright future and that kind of keeps me in good spirits.”
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, is wary of getting too far ahead of himself, considering what is at stake for his man on Saturday night.
"I'm not as calm as AJ but it's a massive fight," he said. "We're in a position now where it is must-win.You can dress it up and say there is less pressure, no belts but ultimately if he doesn't win there will never be another belt, so that's the aim.
"To put himself back in a position to fight for the world heavyweight title and to do that he must win on Saturday.
"Derrick James has done a lot of work with him, so we'll see an aggressive Anthony Joshua and a smart Anthony Joshua. If he lets Franklin get confident, it is going to be a very dangerous fight, so he must hurt him early."
What are the odds?
Anthony Joshua 1/12
Jermaine Franklin 7/1
Draw 25/1
