Franklin: "I'll Prove Joshua Wrong"

“I will beat Joshua, but after that he will only go down in the rankings a little. He won’t end up as a fighter at all,” believes Jermaine Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs), who on April 1 will face Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).

“The media says that for him this is a battle of life and death. This is how the whole story looks, but this is what they said even before the fight with Dillian Whyte. But I will prove them all wrong. In any case, so far I believe that I have won seven or five rounds against White. Joshua's team thinks he can beat me better than White. But I will prove that they made a big mistake.”

“It annoys me that the best of them don’t box each other. Evander Holyfield was my idol, and I would like to bring back the glory of the 90s, when the best fought each other and no one avoided anyone. I miss this in modern boxing. I want to return heavyweight to its former glory and conquer the fans. I don't understand why they have to wait a couple of years for some fight. Four, at least three fights a year should be the norm.”

“I did a thorough analysis of Joshua's fights with Usyk and noticed a few things about Usyk's boxing that caught my attention and made me think. Because the Ukrainian brought some new elements to the fights with Joshua. I will try to use these things,” Franklin concluded.
