Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin: match events & post-match reactions
Franklin attempted to counter this by developing his own jab, but anytime the American tried to attack, Joshua profited with some of his own body blows. Joshua’s right hand got more frequent as the fight continued through the middle rounds, and while it was connecting, Franklin was still standing, similar to his encounter with Dillian Whyte late last year. In heavyweight boxing, stamina is crucial, and after reducing a lot of weight for this bout, Franklin started to get exhausted after the eighth round, which made the fight’s conclusion quite untidy.
Although Joshua had some brilliant moments during championship rounds, he failed to win the match through TKO and ultimately, the match was decided by the decision of judges. Ultimately, Anthony Joshua emerged victorious by score of 117-111, 118-111 to gain momentum in his heavyweight title quest.
