Decoding Matchroom Boxing’s intriguing Instagram teaser

The world-renowned Matchroom Boxing recently made an Instagram post that has sent ripples through the boxing community. The post itself was deceptively simple, albeit captivating.

But what caught the eyes and ignited the hearts of the fans was the caption: “The Second Face Off 🍿 @anthonyjoshua vs @dillianwhyte Coming Soon 🎬 #JoshuaWhyte2”. This caption was a tantalizing promise of a sequel to the original face-off between the two heavyweight rivals.

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.”
