According to reports reaching Nollywood Times, Anthony Joshua will reportedly fight the American boxer, Jermaine Franklin, in a bid to return to boxing. He anticipated a return to the canvass to combat a more recognizable opponent, but it was not to be.

However, based on reports from BoxingScene.com, Franklin will fight Joshua and they have agreed on the terms of the proposed fight scheduled to take place on April 1 at London's O2 Arena.

Franklin (29) has a professional record of 21 wins, 11 of which were knockouts, and only one defeat. By consensus, this was stated in his final presentation before Dillian Whyte.

If AJ and Whyte both prevail over their upcoming opponents, this is anticipated to be the obstacle before their showdown. There will be two 12-round heavyweight matches.

Demsey McKean, who has 22 wins overall and 14 on the fast track, was defeated by the Michigan fighter. And to Otto Wallin, who records 24 victories-14 more than the threshold-and one failure.

This appears to be the British fighter's return to the ring after his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in the back-to-back fights that cost him the title of full world champion.

Prior to searching for his next big break, Anthony Joshua will focus on defeating the talented Jermaine Franklin in the early months of 2023.
