Anthony Joshua v Jermaine Franklin weigh-in live stream

Anthony Joshua faces Jermaine Franklin on Saturday night as the Londoner aims to secure his first victory since 2020.

AJ has not won since beating Kubrat Pulev some 27 months ago, losing to Oleksandr Usyk twice since.

He takes on American Franklin, whose sole career in his 22 fights came against Dillian Whyte last November, in London on Saturday night.

The weigh-in takes place at 1pm on Friday and you can watch it live on the video at the top of this article.

Speaking ahead of the weigh-in, Joshua said: “It is win by any means necessary. We are just here to do a job.

“I respect my opponent and may the best man win. One thing he said is he started eating right for this camp, well he’s dealing with someone who has been living right from the get go.

“I have been putting in work from the day I started this business. It’s going to be a good fight because he’s up against a real one, for sure.

“The goal is not to make it back to the corner, the goal is to take him out. I respect Derrick fully and I trust everything he’s been saying.

“When you’re a student of the game, there are certain times you can be on the same level as people you speak to about boxing but when I speak to Derrick and ask him certain questions, the knowledge he spits is phenomenal.

“The knowledge he gives me is really, really good. We’re at a stage now where the physical side of the fight is done.

“Fight week you are still training because it’s part of our nature, but the physical work is done and it’s all about the knowledge.

“You just have to train your mind and honestly Derrick is up there with one of the best people I’ve spoke to about boxing. I appreciate his time.

“I appreciate the fact he took me on and I am looking forward to showing him he hasn’t wasted his time by taking on this project.”
