He has a new coach, with Derrick James taking over from Robert Garcia for the fight.

Simon Jordan was unwillingly inducted into Anthony Joshua's fan club while accusing Tony Bellew of being a 'fully paid-up' member.The 55-year-ol.

I look at you and just see Anthony Joshua staring back at me through those eyes.” [Deontay Wilder](https://talksport.com/who/deontay-wilder/) is also on the table, as is a potential rematch with Whyte, but only if he wins, as a defeat could spell the end of his career as an elite heavyweight.

After losing three of his last five fights, it's time for the Anthony Joshua rehabilitation tour to begin vs. Jermaine Franklin.

Here’s more info on the Anthony Joshua vs. The Whyte fight apparently gave Franklin some confidence, but Joshua could destroy that mindset quickly if he lands his power shots early. It’ll be interesting to see how Joshua, who is with his third trainer in his last three fights, performs with James in his corner. If you were looking for a fun parlay for this weekend’s action of boxing (and this is only for entertainment purposes), I might take Joshua to beat Franklin by KO/TKO at -350 and Robeisy Ramirez to beat Isaac Dogboe by decision at +125. But when Joshua has lost (against Usyk twice and against Ruiz), it’s been mostly spectacular and strange. Unsurprisingly, Joshua is a big betting favorite. At 24-3 (22 KOs), his best victories were against Wladimir Klitschko, Andy Ruiz in their rematch, Joseph Parker and Dillian Whyte. Joshua is aware of just how important this fight is to his career. Neither does Joshua winning by stoppage at -350. I dream big and I want bigger and better things in my life.” Jermaine Franklin, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win. “If it gets to a point where I can see [the knockout], then let’s go get it.

The British boxer had made big sacrifices and still not seen his son JJ since the start of his winter training camp.

“I think he would have a good run at it because of the experience that I’ve got. “He’s like me though when I lost, that’s how he is when he loses. He added: “JJ’s aware but I don’t think he cares. And I’m like, ‘that’s what I feel like every day!’. That’s the thing, I don’t think he has an interest like that. “No I haven’t seen them yet.

And if that is the case, I give him a good chance of taking Fury down. He is a good character and has been brilliant for our sport. If he comes through this fight the right way then he should go after Fury, just as he has indicated. This guy is durable, takes a good shot, throws punches and will make Joshua fight every minute of every round. He has to be aggressive. Jermaine Franklin is the best fight Joshua could take at this stage.

Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring against Jermaine Franklin tonight as he looks to return to form in the heavyweight division after losing ...

As a man, he's a man just like I am, he bleeds just like I do so I have the confidence that I can pull this victory out. "It was a messed up fight so I've just been in the gym working, waiting. But I've just been working, I got home and got right back in the gym [after the Whyte fight]. The showdown will begin at around 7pm on domestic shores with an undercard set to preceed the headlining attraction. When you step in the ring with me, it's another. I like making money, straight up this is a prize-fighting sport." Joshua's showdown with Franklin will be his first fight live exclusively on streaming service DAZN in the UK since departing traditional broadcaster Sky Sports. "So it was just back to the drawing board for me, trying to get back in shape and look for different aspects, different ways to attack, different points to my game and just overall improvement. If you doubt yourself you're in the wrong sport. It can also be caught on multiple devices including laptop, smart TV and through the mobile app. Franklin: "I've always been confident in myself," Franklin said. Joshua's showdown with Franklin will take place at London's O2 arena tonight.

Campbell Hatton fights for the second time in just three weeks this weekend, taking on Louis Fielding at the O2 Arena.

He said: "I just want to thank Eddie and everyone at Matchroom for the opportunity. I've been training hard and it is a massive opportunity for me to kickstart my career on and get a good win under my belt. Fielding was also present at the media activities this week, with the 32-year-old facing a fight on the biggest stage of his career so far. Campbell is a good kid and he's got good people around him, but me beating Campbell Hatton propels me onto bigger things." The way that I was boxing early on it was clear that I was just too eager to please and I was just trying to go 100mph with everything. I think we're showing those improvements every time, we're on the eight rounders and it is going to bring the best out of me. Last time out I showed that I am thinking about going up and down the gears. Having the extra few rounds is just going to benefit me. That was his last such fight, and his plans have accelerated as he faces an eight round bout this weekend against Fielding of Tamworth in the West Midlands. It's also available without a contract. However, just three weeks is a particularly swift turnaround but one which Hatton explained is ideal. [the level which Hatton admitted to MEN Sport earlier this month that he was aspiring to.](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/boxing/campbell-hatton-next-fight-boxrec-26369595) As a result, this fight is expected to show the son of boxing legend, Ricky, the level required to make the grade at area level before moving onto bigger goals.

Anthony Joshua is set to make his heavyweight comeback on familiar territory in London tonight against Jermaine Franklin, which will be his first fight not ...

In a bold assessment of his motivation for staying in the sport, Joshua has admitted that money drives him to earn the biggest days against the biggest name opponents. These would likely pocket him career-high earnings, and may even see him return to the Middle East who have awarded him the biggest paydays of his career. And he will likely bank at least a seven-figure payday for his latest outing, which will be significantly smaller given his status outside of the belts. Franklin will pocket at least £500,000 which could rise to £1m if the fight is successful with the fans, which will likely also be boosted given the sold-out crowd in the UK. Paydays have regularly been huge for Joshua who holds significant star power globally, but it will likely be reduced this time given he finds himself out of the title picture for the first time. The British heavyweight will look to bounce back from losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk, [including in their Saudi Arabia rematch](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-oleksandr-usyk-boxing-29586314), and he needs a win to revive his ambitions of becoming world champion again.

I’m just a huge fan of the sport. As I stated in the last press conference, I want to secure the bag and move on in my life." My passion for the sport, my team and my family; that’s all the motivation I need. You always have to have the extreme upmost confidence in yourself and you just have to put your faith in the work that’s gone on behind it. I respect my supporters as well so I have put in the work, I respect my coach as well so I want to make sure I get the job done in good finish.

However, he will hope to rebuild his once fearsome reputation in 2023, with a fight against Franklin to start for the 33-year old.

Inside the mind of Anthony Joshua, 'the perfectionist' who stands accused of 'not being ready to go to war'

“Boxing Tonight” is i‘s weekly look ahead to Saturday night’s fights – and it’s now a free weekly newsletter. Subscriptions start from £9.99 a month – this is the first AJ fight for seven years that has not been pay-per-view. “But the aggressive AJ which turned pro and which got everyone going to stadiums, I think he may be gone forever. It’s a tremendous business opportunity but I think he used to do it for the love of the sport. “I think Joshua’s main weakness,” Price points out, “is that physically he’s got everything but mentally he’s too much of a perfectionist. From where the sport was when he arrived, he should rank as among the most influential fighters of all time for transforming the heavyweight scene, packing out stadiums and making punching people in the face cool again. He’s an icon for everybody in the UK, but as an elite athlete I believe he’s on the other side.” “I do not think Anthony Joshua is willing to go to war at this stage of his career,” Salita tells i. Price famously knocked Joshua out in their sparring session more than a decade ago, but even then AJ was building up an impressive amateur career which culminated in gold at the London Olympics. It’s a risky sport, boxing, your health’s at risk every time you step in the ring, so you need to be compensated.” [defeats to Usyk have humbled Joshua](https://inews.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-different-man-oleksandr-usyk-quit-yet-2141746?ico=in-line_link) and altered his focus.

Another name who has left 'AJ' in the dust on the financial scene is Paul who has been boxing for several years now.

Anthony Joshua returns to the ring tonight against American Jermaine Franklin, in what is a decisive contest for his future heavyweight plans.

But having lost successive bouts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022 and once again lost his championship belts, Joshua has been at somewhat of a career crossroads. I am going to be laughing and loving life." Family is very important to AJ and he has a special relationship with his mother Yeta. If people want me to retire I will retire," he said. “Negotiations at this level take time, so I am pleased to have it all wrapped up and now I can fully focus on giving the fans and DAZN what they want – knockouts in the glamour division. Speaking of holidays, AJ very much enjoys jetting abroad to relax and recharge his batteries. I’m not like that at home - and I’m not even like that when I go out, really." “I’ve been working with DAZN and following its progress for a long time. I’m not a superstar and he doesn’t think so either. The former world heavyweight champion is gearing up for a crunch fight against Jermaine Franklin this weekend, and claimed he will retire from the sport if he fails to win his first bout since December 2020. Due to another high-profile endorsement with Beats by Dre which began in 2017, Joshua also has free use of a helicopter. Most of AJ’s net worth is made up with his mega endorsement deals, one of which is with Jaguar Land Rover.

[Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-fight-purse-comeback-29601655), AJ will bank six-figures for the Franklin clash and his earnings could rise to £10m, depending on the fight’s success. [press conference](https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1327528/anthony-joshua-money-net-worth-fight-jermaine-franklin/) to promote the bout in February, AJ was asked by boxing promoter Eddie Hearn what was motivating him during this pivotal time in his career.

Joshua is preparing to fight Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.

The sacrifice is: I’m standing up in front of the Queen, for example, reading a speech at Westminster Abbey that I’ve never, ever really been prepared for. The sacrifice is: getting up there and presenting yourself ot the public. The sacrifice is: I’m putting myself forward in a position that I’ve never been nurtured for.

This weekend Joshua returns to his old stomping ground on the Greenwich Peninsula after seven years away to do battle with Jermaine Franklin.

Who would have envisaged that, after beating Alexander Povetkin at Wembley in September 2018, over the next four-and-a-half years he would rack up only another two wins, before letting his heavyweight crown slip and struggling to sell out the O2. Nevertheless, throwing his toys out of the pram in such a manner after two clear defeats has only brought further detractors. As a result, his unwanted O2 comeback has not provided the kind of ticket frenzy AJ and promoter Eddie Hearn are used to. Only two victories have come from his previous five contests, with Andy Ruiz Jr the first to expose his deficiencies in startling fashion on that dramatic June night at Madison Square Garden four years ago. Anthony Joshua heads back to the O2 this weekend with his star power waning, tickets selling slowly and RETIREMENT a possibility... Despite Breazeale's obscurity, tickets for the fight sold out in just 30 minutes as fans clamoured for a glimpse of Britain's new superstar heavyweight in the flesh.

The former unified heavyweight champion looks to get back in the win column on Saturday night in London.

It also derailed the possibility of a showdown with fellow Englishman Tyson Fury to crown an undisputed champion in a fight that would have done incredible business as the biggest showdown in English boxing history. Ultimately, Whyte took a mildly-controversial majority decision, though Franklin proved he could hang with one of the better heavyweights in the world. Joshua entered the rematch as an underdog for the first time in his career. Joshua was able to dominate the rematch with Ruiz, winning back his titles in the process, and followed that up with a knockout win over Kubrat Pulev before facing off with former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. in June 2019 and the first sign that the wheels were starting to come off the Joshua wagon. After winning the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in front of his countrymen in London, Joshua quickly proved himself one of the top heavyweights in the professional ranks.
