    I wouldn't even mind Joshua V Franklin if it was a warm up for Wilder or somebody like that. But it's a warm up for a washed up, physically finished fighter.

    Povetkin ended Whytes career in Eddie's back garden that night.

    It’s bad enough reading the drivel that’s posted in here now never mind going back to posts a year ago to read some more.

    Also spamming every single thread with posts about Joshua and saying the word pudding over and over again isn’t “boxing knowledge”

    Yet you are happy to see the countless spamming threads and nonsense posts about the greatness of a bang average boxer named Joshua, a poor value for money DAZN UK streaming channel and a promoter named Earn spouting lies time and again.

    This will always be called out.

    There are quite a few on here who can smell a pudding and lies a mile away.

    If Joshua is not a pudding, why is he fighting Whyte's pudding leftovers and licking the plate dry?

    The problem with fake greatness and scams is that the truth always comes to the surface.

    Exactly this.
    No harm in a tune up but don't be expecting mega money for it.

    Pisses me off seeing Joshua walking round with his headphones on cashing in on all the lucrative sponsorship deals.
    Throwback fighter my arse

    Awful but could worse and be a toffee.

    Fat Frank doing a fantastic job of taking them to a position where they are at serious risk of having the best new stadium in the Championship.

    Think about all those poor PPV Mugs who have been fleeced time and again for bang average British Heavyweight boxers Whyte, Chisora, Joshua.

    The biggest scam ever and Earn certainly done a number on them.

    Incredible stack of loot for such mediocrity.

    Hearn's heavyweight stable has been exposed and demolished.

    Yet they will all still want mega bucks for every fight they are in.

    Sky's promotion and tuning in to the casuals market helped them make more money than they could ever dream of.
    Now they are fighting on a virtually unknown app with next to zero promotion outside of boxing circles.

    Their inflated egos will think they can still command millions for every fight.

    The mighty AJ taking a tune up fight before he faces Whyte is laughable. Fury must be pissing himself

    Joshua has been fully exposed as a bang average British Heavyweight at best and all he can do now is go back round the puddings circuit.

    Would not be surprised if his 2 fights per year taking him to 2025 are Franklin, Chisora, Whyte and Pulev.

    Then he may step up and face Bosh for the English Title.

    Can you show me some examples of recent threads which are about the “greatness” of Joshua as I can’t seem to see one? As well as maybe an example of me being “happy to see the countless spamming threads” as again I can’t ever remember expressing such happiness.

    Also I believe there is currently 1 active DAZN thread so I would hardly call this spamming.

    He would have won it if he was a home fighter. Close fight. I think it will be interesting fight against Joshua

    Fighting 3 times this year and the first is mid Apil.

    Seems unlikely

    Why they can’t just make the Whyte fight is beyond me.

    IF he fights 3 times this year and the third one is a proper fight (Wilder or Fury), then Franklin is okay.
    But there's no way he fights 3 times this year. Not a chance.
