Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:53 GMT

One minute he’s talking about a blockbuster, all-British heavyweight fight with Tyson Fury.The next he’s looking forward to “loving life” in retirement, free from the pressure of an expectant public.Such are the stakes for Anthony Joshua in a fight that comes at a crossroads in his career.Coming off consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, the former two-time world champion takes on American boxer Jermaine Franklin at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday for a non-title bout that is bigger than it appears at first glance.If Joshua loses, his career is pretty much in ruins.
