O2 ARENA, LONDON — Anthony Joshua looks to recover from back-to-back losses as he takes on Jermaine Franklin, a man competing in the biggest fight of this career to date.

The fight will air exclusively on DAZN and is a non-PPV, a rarity for Joshua-led events in the UK.

Joshua is 2-3 in his last five bouts. The 33-year-old last competed in a non-title fight (at world or domestic level) in 2015, beating Raphael Zumbano via TKO. He is heading back to basics, competing inside the same arena he debuted in. A win could propel him to another chance at gold.

The Watford-born fighter has been training with Derrick James, his third trainer in the last three fights. Working with fighters like Errol Spence Jr. and Jermell Charlo, James has helped Joshua regain some of his confidence, and he hopes that pays off on fight night.

Moreover, Joshua has claimed that he will retire if he loses this fight. This is exciting for viewers as it surely means the experience fighter will give his all in this fight.

The Jermaine Franklin vs. ANTHONY JOSHUA Fight will be broadcast on CBS, with a scheduled start time of 4:30 PM ET on Friday, April 17th. This Fight is part of the First Four, which includes four Fights played on the first two days of the tournament to determine which teams will advance to the first round.

The winner of the Jermaine Franklin vs. ANTHONY JOSHUA Fight will advance to the first round of the tournament, where they will face off against the number one seed in the Midwest region, the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Preview of the Figh

Whole families - who wouldn’t usually know a left hook from a fish hook - would gather around their TVs and pay PPV money to watch the bad-boy-done-glorious transcend the sport.

Grandmas and grandsons alike loved how the sweet science had helped a Watford 18-year-old transform from bricklayer with criminal convictions to a world champion with great intentions.

An entire industry has been built on the broad British-Nigerian shoulders of 33-year-old Joshua and when he lost his WBA, WBO and IBF world titles after two fights to Oleksandr Usyk, a decade of pressure and bottled-up emotion erupted out of him.

On Saturday night - minus the gargantuan power of Sky Sports after signing up to be the poster boy of London-based streaming app DAZN - AJ tries to rebuild his confidence and reputation once again.

Following five sell-out stadium shows shared between Wembley, Cardiff and Tottenham - it is sad to learn the 18,000-seater O2 arena has been a hard sell for the walking-talking-fighting Hollywood billboard.

But whether it be the cost-of-living crisis, the sudden and drastic drop off in Sky support or the profile of 29-year-old American opponent Jermaine Franklin, the once die-hard fans have voted with their feet.

Hopefully a new trainer in Texas-based Derrick James and a Dallas training camp away from creature comforts have refocused his mind so much that the sudden dip in popularity flies over AJ’s head with Franklin punches. hf d fh
