Anthony Joshua returns to the ring this weekend, with Jermaine Franklin his opponent as he hopes to begin a comeback from three defeats in his past five fights. 'AJ' is a former two-time world champion, but after successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk he will be looking to rebuild his career as he takes on Franklin.
Joshua remains one of the biggest names in the heavyweight division and takes on Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs), who had previously held an unbeaten record before his UK debut in November, which he lost to Dillian Whyte.
Also on the card, Nottingham born Fabio Wardley will face American Michael Polite-Coffie, with the rising star of British heavyweight boxing hoping to build on an impressive win against Nathan Gorman at the O2 in November.
