Anthony Joshua returns to London for what looks like one of the biggest fights of his career on Saturday. AJ takes on the American heavyweight Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena.
It is the first Joshua bout since the Londoner agreed a multi-fight deal with broadcaster DAZN. The streaming service will show Saturday’s fight live in the UK and around the world.
The fight sees Joshua returning to the ring after successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, with the 33-year-old embarking on a new chapter of his career. He begins life alongside new coach Derrick James, who has replaced Robert Garcia and will hope that a win can set him up for a potential big name opponent later this year.

However, Franklin will be no pushover, with the American having been one of the rising stars of the division before being beaten by Dillian Whyte last year. Franklin's UK debut saw Whyte winning on points at Wembley Arena, but the high regard the American is held in is shown by the opportunity to face 'AJ' this weekend.
There is also some exciting action on the undercard, with Campbell Hatton fighting once again having recorded his tenth win last month before Fabio Wardley vs American Michael Polite-Coffie.
Here is how you can follow the action:
