It amazes me that a ridiculously high amount of people expect DAZN to be rivalling Sky and BT after a couple of years, the channels a toddler

:lol: he's such a prick
He’s been on one this week. Non stop interviews, loads of different podcasts and was on good morning Britain twice yesterday. Felt like he’s trying to prove himself again.

Result wise it will be quite interesting. Franklin is in shape and Joshua may well just gas out and get stopped if he’s gone too far with his bulking.

Isn’t he lighter than before? To be honest I’m not really following this stuff v closely.

Oh, indeed, 23 pounds ligher than in the last fight. Quite surprising.

I read an interview with him where he’d given up red meat and had started eating fruit.

“I’ve started eating fruit” is like when Chris Arreola said that he’d started jogging. It’s mind boggling to me that a fully grown man doesn’t eat fruit, let alone a professional athlete

Mayby Franklin has never tasted any food outside of KFC until now. :maybe:

Apparently Sweets order in GTA San Andreas was inspired by Franklin’s daily breakfast.

Maybe, but if the content and price is right it'd get among them .

Just watched the weigh-in. Still flabby with tits.

Franklin is a strange choice of opponent. AJ doesn't look good against little fighters. You'd have thought they'd have got him a big stiff idiot to punch holes in.

I haven't watched it back but there was no finesse from either bloke in the Whyte fight from memory. Neither did anything but plod and throw punches. Joshua, despite losing and being a mentalist, actually boxed pretty well against Usyk both times and should beat Franklin up. I won't be tempted by those odds. Arguably getting the better of a shot chinny Dillian Whyte in a close points decision isn't impressive to me at this level.
