JAKARTA - It has been revealed when Anthony Joshua will enter the ring again. The promoter, Eddie Hearn, confirmed that the fighter will compete on April 1.
The British heavyweight boxer will fight at the O2 Arena London, as confirmed by Hearn.
Joshua is likely to fight American boxer Jermaine Franklin. In his last fight, Franklin lost to Dillian Whyte.
Hearn also stated that an official announcement of the fight would be made through a press conference next week.
"It was a really tough fight with a lot of pressure, because if AJ (Anthony Joshua) doesn't win this fight, then we have a lot of problems," Hearn said as quoted by Antara via BBC.
"I assure you that you will see statements from someone who is very dangerous, very motivated to become world heavyweight champion three times," he added.
Joshua lost his last two fights. He got the two defeats from Oleksandr Usyk from Ukraine in the unification fight.
The boxer from Watford is the world champion three times, with a record of 24 wins and three defeats.
Regarding Joshua's potential opponent, Hearn dismissed the notion that Franklin is an easy opponent for his champion. Franklin was unbeaten before losing to Whyte, and he felt he should be the one who won the fight.
"There are so many contradictions: Anthony Joshua has finished, mentally he has been hit, but he will knock Jermaine Franklin out in three rounds," Hearn said.
"The same people say Jermaine Franklin beat Dillian Whiye, but he was a bad opponent for Anthony Joshua, in the fight back after two defeats to fight for number one," concluded Hearn.
