Who will win the world heavyweight title?
Tyson Fury
Oleksandr Usyk
The common link between AJ and Dillian Whyte is not just the three legendary fights they have fought. There remains another interesting commonality in the opponent they have fought. Jermaine Franklin is that point of commonality. Last year in November, Dillain Whyte won over Franklin in a hard-fought bout. In 2023, AJ went against ‘989 Assassin’ Franklin to succeed in a unanimous decision victory. Therefore, he can aptly comment on the upcoming AJ vs Whyte fight based on his experience.
He predicted that Anthony Joshua will win the big fight. Franklin told Boxing Social, “I see AJ winning only because I kind of got adjusted to Dillian’s style early, and it didn’t change. He tried to change it a little bit but he kinda stayed the same. With Anthony, he’s just gonna use his jab a lot. If he can get Dillian to the point where he’s got him kind of stagnant or he’s not doing a lot, the jab will win the fight easy.”
