is a talent. He's got all the physical skills one needs to be heavyweight champion of the world.
Franklin had no business being in the ring with Joshua, but he was in the fight, throughout. Joshua represented, by far, the biggest challenge of his career. Franklin's previous best opponent was Dillian Whyte, and Whyte defeated him last year. After that, Franklin's career consisted of beating up on guys who are way better off punching a time clock for a living than they are boxing.
Franklin showed a good chin, but he didn't have the speed, power or boxing ability to seriously threaten Joshua. Referee Marcus McDonnell didn't help Franklin's cause, at all. He warned Franklin repeatedly for holding, though it was Joshua initiating most of it. Franklin wanted to slip Joshua's jab, cut the range and get inside and work the body. As a game plan, it made sense.
"Jermaine, someone else will knock him out, probably," Joshua said, forcing a laugh."Jermaine has a good duck and dive style. There were opportunities there."Fury, whose talks to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title on April 29 fell apart over a potential rematchJoshua, who has had ample opportunity to meet Fury in what would be a huge financial windfall for all involved, made a curious statement as the crowd cheered Fury's name.
