The bookmakers fully expect Anthony Joshua to make a return to winning ways on Saturday night.

Joshua goes into the fight at the O2 Arena in London having not won since he knocked out Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round in December 2020.

Since then he has lost back-to-back world title fights against Oleksandr Usyk, but the bookies are confident he will end his losing run here.

Coral make Joshua a 1/10 favourite for his fight with Jermaine Franklin.

The former world heavyweight champion is 3/10 to get the job done by knockout, while it is 4/1 that he earns the nod from the judges.

Franklin, who lost to Dillian Whyte las time out, is 6/1 to cause an upset here, and 11/1 to beat Joshua by knockout.

“Anthony Joshua has said he will retire if he is unable to defeat Jermaine Franklin, so there is a lot of the line for this British boxer this weekend,” Coral’s John Hill told FreeTips.com.

“We make him long odds-on to prevail, while the betting indicates he should get the job done inside the 12 rounds.

“AJ won’t need reminding about upsets in the heavyweight division.

“Andy Ruiz Jr was 16/1 to defeat him before he stopped the world champion in 2019. Franklin is much shorter in the betting at 6/1 to inflict defeat on the favourite.”
