Is Anthony Joshua under a serious amount of pressure?

He's taking no risk

He's picked a tiny, feather fisted man to fight

It's about as risk averse a pick as he could have done

 

No pressure at all. Will ice him in a round or two.

 

Nah, even if he loses at least nobody will see it lol

 

Will be astonished if Joshua loses to Franklin - this level of shock right up there with one armed Danny Williams taking out Mark Potter and John Fury ducking Micky Theo.

 

Live on SKY TV Channel 429 - plenty of eyes will be on it.

 

Dont you have to subscribe though?

 

Yes

The presence on Sky will make a huge difference to the number of eyes watching.

 

He will blast him out with 4 rounds. Franklin did well against Whyte, but he hits about as hard as Sonny Edwards. No risk of another Ruiz Jr here.

 

Can’t get iced vs Franklin

 

Who says he’s taking a pay cut?

 

After losing to Andy Ruiz and then twice to Usyk I don’t think he will be under any pressure.

No matter how the fight does he still gets paid his ridiculous quota that Eddie and 258 negotiated for him

He’s fighting a feather fisted HW that was working in a factory a year ago, no matter how hard Franklin tries or trains he’s going to be way behind the likes of AJ who’s been training 3 times a day for the past 13 years, how does anyone expect to bridge that gap in such a short space of time.

AJ still beats everyone in the division apart from Fury and Usyk, even if he was fighting Joe Joyce I’d have still have AJ as a hearty favourite.

 

He's 1-3 in his last four against tiny, feather fisted men, so who knows.

 

Agreed with every word of your post until the end. I think AJ and Joyce is 50-50 and on form Joyce has his nose in front. I think he'd wear AJ down and avoid getting knocked out but potentially get robbed on the cards.

 

Hopefully Joyce gets any of Usyk, Fury, Joshua or Wilder in the summer.

He deserves a big fight.
