Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin: Records Compared

Anthony Joshua is without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest heavyweights of the modern era.

He bids to get back to winning ways on Saturday night against a hungry American contender.

The British heavyweight boasts an impressive 24-3 record in boxing, with his only defeats coming to Oleksandr Usyk twice and once to Andy Ruiz Jr – a defeat he later avenged. He is widely regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxers of the past decade, and looks to get back to winning ways to begin his road back to the top of the division.

Jones has won 22 of his 24 victories by stoppage too. Of the 24 fighters Joshua has beaten, only Joseph Parker and Andy Ruiz Jr have seen the final bell. This shows the incredible power and spite in his first that ‘AJ’ possesses.
