Matchroom Boxing and DAZN will live stream a free preliminary fight card Before The Bell: Anthony Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin, live on April 1 before the main card. The pre-show will feature up and coming talent from the Matchroom boxing stable.
Anthony Joshua is at a crossroads in his career he will need to win big on Saturday night against a credible heavyweight contender to continue as a serious threat in the boxing world.
The heavyweight division was run by three men for years, Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, but an undersized former Crusierweight champion Oleksandr Uysk is now the unified heavyweight champion and he done so by beating the much bigger and stronger Anthony Joshua twice back to back.
Joshua struggled in both fights with Uysk because the smaller fighter was elusive and hard to hit flush. He made a change in trainers and is now with Texas based American trainer Derrick James who is best known for training undefeated unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.
Will the change in trainer and going to the USA to hold camp revive the British boxing stars motivation and career? Tune in on Saturday night to find out.
Before the main card fight fans will be in for a treat with a five fight preliminary fight card featuring undefeated and rising prospects.
