When is Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin weigh in? Date, time and live stream

Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin this weekend, with the British former heavyweight world champion hoping to return to his best after three defeats in five fights.

'AJ' is a two-time world champion but has suffered defeats at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr. and Oleksandr Usyk in recent years, with the latter inflicting successive defeats upon the 33-year-old. However, Joshua will be hoping that a win this weekend can set him on a path towards world title fights once again in the future.

Franklin is still regarded as one of the trickier opponents in the heavyweight division, with the American having been unbeaten before a tight points defeat by Dillian Whyte on his UK debut last November. They will meet on Friday for the weigh-in ahead of the fight, with both hoping to get inside the head of their opponent before the contest.

AJ vs Franklin takes place on April 1 at London's iconic O2. Some last minute tickets are available, but you can watch the whole thing from the comfort of your sofa for just £9.99 alongside hours of other sport content as part of a DAZN package.
