Jermaine Franklin’s take: Anthony Joshua holds the winning edge in the upcoming bout
The intrigue surrounding the AJ-Whyte rematch extends beyond the history of these two athletes. An interesting connection comes in the form of Jermaine Franklin, a heavyweight contender who has shared the ring with both Joshua and Whyte. After grueling bouts against both fighters, Franklin’s unique perspective paints an insightful picture of the much-anticipated rematch.
In a candid conversation with Boxing Social, Franklin tipped the scales in favor of Anthony Joshua. He said, “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.”
Franklin’s words, based on his personal experience with both fighters, place Joshua ahead in the rematch. However, the dynamic and unpredictable nature of boxing implies that only the day of the fight will reveal who reigns supreme. So, who are you backing in this showdown of titans – Joshua or Whyte? The bell rings on August 12 – let the best man win!
