British journalist Gareth A. Davis reported that for the duel on April 1 at the London O2 arena between Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) and Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs) there are still "thousands of unsold tickets". With four weeks to go and probably the best British fans in the world will still fill the famous location, but for now it looks like Eddie Hearn will have to learn that even they love the winners the most.
For the former two-time world heavyweight champion, this will be a return to the ring after two consecutive points losses to Oleksandr Usyk. At the same time, the Briton will make his debut on the DAZN platform, and coach Derrick James will stand in his corner for the first time. In addition, AJ moved his entire camp to the USA for the first time.
