How to buy tickets for Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin fight

Former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua makes his ring return in London later this year, facing Jermaine Franklin on April 1 as he hopes to bounce back from three defeats in his last four fights.

Having lost his titles to Oleksandr Usyk, the 33-year old marks his comeback against Franklin, 29, who was beaten by Dillian Whyte in London last November. Prior to that fight, he was unbeaten and regarded as a rising star of the division but a points defeat to Whyte stopped him in his tracks.

A date with Joshua is a huge opportunity for Franklin, with the winner potentially moving on to a big fight later this year in the heavyweight division. Deontay Wilder could be an option, while Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois could both provide Joshua with a huge British contest should he be able to beat Franklin as expected.

The hope for Joshua's and new trainer Derrick James will be that a win can build his confidence, with Franklin a dangerous opponent but certainly not of world championship pedigree at present. The fight will take place as part of a Matchroom promotion and fans can expect to see an exciting night of boxing in East London.
