Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) won by unanimous decision over Jermain Franklin (21-2, 14 KOs) in the main event of the evening at the O2 Arena in London. Under the guidance of a new coach, AJ worked a lot with the jab and acted very carefully. Starting from the first round, Joshua was bleeding from his nose. The fight took place with a large number of clinches. Judges score: 118-111 and twice 117-111.

After the end of the fight, Joshua and Franklin clearly did not begin to have respect for each other, and almost continued the fight further.
