Form of Anthony Joshua

With back-to-back losses, Anthony Joshua now has a career record of 24-3, with 22 knockouts.

A shock defeat in June 2019 ended Joshua's 22-fight winning streak.

AJ was floored multiple times before being knocked out by Andy Ruiz Jr in the seventh round.

Later that year, Ruiz Jr was outclassed by the 33-year-old for a unanimous decision win over the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles.

The belts were then successfully defended by Joshua, who knocked out Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round before losing them again.

Over 12 rounds, the British heavyweight lost on points to former cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua tried to regain those titles from Usyk in his next fight, but lost by split decision to the Ukrainian.

This was his third defeat in five fights, and he knows that defeat here will end his career.

Form of Jermaine Franklin

Franklin enters the biggest fight of his professional career with a 21-1 (14 KOs) record.

In his career, Franklin has compiled a 20-0 record on American soil.

During 2019, he fought three times, winning decisions against Rydell Booker, Jerry Forrest, and Pavel Sour.

After stopping Rodney Moore in the fifth round of his first fight of 2022, the 29-year-old American ended his knockout drought.

As Franklin ventured overseas for the first time in his career, he was unable to maintain his perfect professional record.

'The Body Snatcher' defeated the '989 Assassin' by split decision in London last November.

My Boxing Predictions

In this fight, Anthony Joshua knows his career is pretty much over if he loses.

Jermaine Franklin is unlikely to be able to beat him - he has too much skill and too much power.
