Boxing is a sport where thunderous punches and gritty determination often steal the limelight. But this time it’s something oddly subtle that has boxing fans worldwide on the edge of their seats.

It’s not a thundering knockout or a taunting prediction but something more enigmatic, leaving fans scratching their heads and clamoring for more.

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.”
