Anthony Joshua won this non-title fight after 12 rounds in front of a home audience at the 02 Arena, receiving scores of 118-111, 117-111, and 117-111 from the three judges.
On Saturday in London, Anthony Joshua defeated Jermaine Franklin to win his first fight since 2020.
In his previous two battles, Joshua had fallen to Oleksandr Usyk in back-to-back world title contests.
Joshua was making his first appearance in the ring since losing his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last year, and he needed to win to restart his heavyweight career after a trying time in the ring.
A victory for “AJ” looked to revive a world title challenge and set up potential blockbuster fights against fighters like Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.
Joshua got his hand raised, but the tough American who was taking the fight to the British man from a distance took it from him. In the final buzzer, the fight had been chaotic due to hostility between the two sides, but Joshua had won thanks to scores of 118-111, 117-111, and 117-111 in his favor.
