Antony Joshua and Jermaine Franklin speak ahead of the match
Joshua has kept it short and sweet, preferring to let his actions in the ring speak for him. He believes he’s prepared for a 12-rounder and is confident in his counter-punching abilities to put a dent in Franklin’s performance. Franklin, on the other hand, believes in his own abilities and remains confident that if he can put Joshua on his back, he’ll win.
