Former World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) before the fight with Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs) claims that he survived two defeats from Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and thinks only about the next opponent.
“The fight with White shows what kind of fighter Franklin is. Let’s not underestimate my opponent. I respect him, appreciate him and take him seriously.
The new year has begun, so I put the defeat against Usyk in the past and look forward. Of course, Jermain Franklin is a good fighter. He is someone whom I respect and appreciate, because it would be foolish of me to underestimate any opponent. Looking forward to getting back in the ring.
I don’t know why, but I feel different than usual. Let’s see how I adapt to going into the fight as a contender for the title, ”said the Briton.
Joshua will fight Franklin on April 1 in London.
Earlier, Anthony, through Wladimir Klitschko, conveyed a message to Usyk.
