Anthony Joshua begins his rebuild against Jermaine Franklin in London.
Joshua comes into this contest on the back of two consecutive losses to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk and now the British star looks to re-assert himself as a top contender in the heavyweight division.
Franklin's last outing came in the UK last November against Dillian Whyte, a fight which saw the American give a good account of himself in a contest which some though he won despite losing on the judges' scorecards.
