JAKARTA - Boxer from the United States, Jermaine Franklin, is confident that he will surprise the world in the big fight against Anthony Joshua at the O2 Arena, London, April 1. This belief arose thanks to a little help from Tyson Fury.
Joshua wants to rebuild his career after two consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. While Franklin traveled to London without losing anything.
The 29-year-old returned to the British capital after being 'robbed' in a previous fight against experienced boxer, Dillian Whyte, in November. He lost points.
He didn't want it to happen again. For that he prepared to train with Tyson Fury at his headquarters located in northern England.
"It was an amazing experience," said Franklin. "I have to learn from a world champion, and I really like the atmosphere."
"I like to do whatever I can learn. It doesn't matter if I'm stupid or I fail," he continued.
On this occasion, Franklin admitted to getting "something" from his training with the King ofTEN. That's what makes him more confident ahead of the fight against Joshua.
"Tyson helped me add something to my skills," he said. "Whatever helps me add to my game is very good."
Fury treats Franklin like royalty! So it's natural that Franklin feels at home even though he's far from Michigan, where he came from.
"We walked around, ate fish and chips and everyone knew him," he recalled with a smile.
"But he's a friendly person and that's what I like. I always tell people not to treat me like I'm famous. I'm not arrogant, just ordinary men. Just come and talk to me," he said.
