Following Joshua's back-to-back losses to [[Oleksandr Usyk]], the latter in [[Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua II|August of 2022]] in Saudi Arabia, [[Tyson Fury]] called out [[Anthony Joshua]] for a fight in November or December of that same year. However, the fight failed to come to fruition, due to sponsorship issues. Franklin fought [[Dillian Whyte]] at [[Wembley Arena]] in [[London]], England on November 26, 2022. Whyte won by majority decision, although the decision of that fight was controversial with many scoring the fight as a draw or for Franklin winning. |
|||
On 6 February 2023, it was officially announced that Joshua would be returning to the ring on 1 April at [[The O2 Arena]] against Franklin. The fight would mark the first fight as part of his exclusive five-year deal with sports streaming service [[DAZN]]. |
|||
In the first pre-fight press conference on 9 February, Joshua announced his new partnership with American trainer [[Derrick James]], as well as being questioned by his promoter [[Eddie Hearn]] on his motivation for fighting. Joshua answered by repeatedly stating, "Money, money, money", before Hearn had finished asking the question, before further elaborating: “I like making money. Straight up. Like, this is a prize fighting sport." |
|||
==The fight== |
|||
Joshua won a comprehensive points victory with two judges scoring it 117–111 and third 118–111, giving him his first win in two years.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Donald McRae |title=Anthony Joshua taken the distance but beats Jermaine Franklin on points |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/apr/01/anthony-joshua-taken-the-distance-but-beats-jermaine-franklin-on-points |website=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=8 February 2024 |date=1 April 2023}}</ref> |
|||
==Aftermath== |
|||
Anthony Joshua had negotiated with [[Tyson Fury]] for a bout in November or December, however the fight never came to fruition due to sponsorship issues, with Fury instead choosing to fight [[Derek Chisora]]. Joshua is now scheduled to fight Franklin as the first bout of his multi-fight deal with [[DAZN]]. |
|||
After the fight Joshua's promoter [[Eddie Hearn]] said "There may be an opportunity to do the Tyson Fury fight next. If it is there, it'll be difficult for AJ not to take it. He may think he will never get it.

Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin, billed as New Dawn was a heavyweight boxing match contested between former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Jermaine Franklin.[2][3][4] The bout was held at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London.[2][3][4]
Background[edit]
Following Joshua's back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, the latter in August of 2022 in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury called out Anthony Joshua for a fight in November or December of that same year. However, the fight failed to come to fruition, due to sponsorship issues. Franklin fought Dillian Whyte at Wembley Arena in London, England on November 26, 2022. Whyte won by majority decision, although the decision of that fight was controversial with many scoring the fight as a draw or for Franklin winning.
On 6 February 2023, it was officially announced that Joshua would be returning to the ring on 1 April at The O2 Arena against Franklin. The fight would mark the first fight as part of his exclusive five-year deal with sports streaming service DAZN.
In the first pre-fight press conference on 9 February, Joshua announced his new partnership with American trainer Derrick James, as well as being questioned by his promoter Eddie Hearn on his motivation for fighting. Joshua answered by repeatedly stating, "Money, money, money", before Hearn had finished asking the question, before further elaborating: “I like making money. Straight up. Like, this is a prize fighting sport."
The fight[edit]
Joshua won a comprehensive points victory with two judges scoring it 117–111 and third 118–111, giving him his first win in two years.[5]
Aftermath[edit]
After the fight Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said "There may be an opportunity to do the Tyson Fury fight next. If it is there, it'll be difficult for AJ not to take it. He may think he will never get it. The sensible thing is to have another fight with Derrick James to improve; Dillian Whyte is a great option.[6]
