Haye: Losing to Franklin will be the end of Joshua's quest to regain title

Former world champion in two divisions David Haye told what awaits the career of his compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) if he loses to the American Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs).

According to Haye, in the event of a defeat, Joshua could lose his chances to regain the championship title.

“It will be bad for Joshua. In this case, Anthony will have three defeats in a row on his resume. He cannot afford this. I remember how they said after the first fight with Usyk: "His career is over if he loses in a rematch." Well, we are talking about it again. Look at Derek Chisora, who has thirteen defeats, but he is still on the buzz. For Joshua, this will not be the end.

This may be the end of the quest to reclaim the title, but in terms of filled arenas, making money and enjoying boxing, no, I don't think it will be over."

Recall that earlier it was reported that Joshua will fight his next fight on April 1 in London. The main contender for the rival status is Franklin.
