This coming Saturday at the DAZN evening in London, undefeated Jermaine Franklin (21-0, 14 KOs) will face Dillian Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs). The American, at the final stage of preparation, got the opportunity to spar with the recent offender of his opponent - the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).
“We worked with Tyson for a bit, it was great,” Franklin said in an interview with Boxing Social. — I learned new things, new attacking techniques, because Tyson is hard to hit. Now it's my time!"
“I am ready to show the world what I am capable of, I think I have enough strength to knock White out with more than just an uppercut. I will wait for the right moment and then I will knock him out,” said the 34-year-old fighter, who, if defeated by the “Body Snatcher”, could open his way to a lucrative spring fight with Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).
