Anthony Joshua v Jermaine Franklin April 1st

[Master]

Do not think Frank Bruno/Henry Cooper was on any undercard after he challenged for a world title.

Anthony Joshua’s next fight against Jermaine Franklin will be his first not broadcast as a PPV since September 2015.

However, with DAZN increasing their base monthly ‘Flexible Pass’ subscription price to £19.99.

When DAZN first launched in UK they began with an introductory price of just £1.99 per month, which soon increased to £7.99 per month.

Now the ‘Flexible Pass’ monthly rate going up to is £19.99 per month – this is what it will cost someone who’s not an existing subscriber to watch Joshua vs Franklin.

They are also offering a ‘Monthly Saver’ package which requires the buyer to sign up to DAZN for 12 months and pay £9.99 per month along the way.

And the final option is an ‘Annual Super Saver’ which required an up front payment of £99.99 to cover the full year.

Finally just cancelled Dazn they have always struck me shady and haphazard. Won't get into all the lies about PPV and repeated price hikes. Pay 19.99 when there is a decent 'block' of fights inside a months' time. Just remember to cancel before hitting a month or they repeat charge .

Boxrec supplements my fading memory.

Herbie Hide lost to Vitali, and then fought on the undercard of Robin Reid v Soon Botes for the wbf s/middle, took me about 5 minutes to find, sure there are others.

You are not comparing AJ, Bruno or Copper to Herbie Hide with his minor WBO title are you?

Nothing to work out. Herbie Hide does not compare to Bruno, AJ and Cooper in terms of popularity regardless of his boxing record.

Herbie was no joke

Forgot Frank Brunos record f40 l5, Do the maths, Herbie had the better record.

With respect to undercard slots once beaten by a champ, Bruno was on John Mugabis undercard twice, once after Mike Tyson and once after Tim Witherspoon

Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one

Sorry forgot to mention till I noticed the 'in terms of popularity' phrase, what has that got to do with it? Elvis is/was/is still the most popular man on the planet, but he can't box! Would you rate Hughy Fury in the top ten because he was on Love Island?

I know you’re using their records because it suits your argument, but you’ve given a perfect example of why you CANNOT tell who is best by comparing records.
Herbie Hide - 49 fights - his first 19 fights were at “road sweeper” standard, his last 14 fights were at cruiserweight. He fought in 6 world title fights , fighting 3 past,present or future World champions.
Anthony Joshua - fought 27 times , 12 of which were world title fights and fought 7 past, present or future World champions.
Frank Bruno - fought 45 times , fighting 5 world title fights and fought 7 past , present or future World Champions.
The standard of opposition that AJ & Bruno fought and beat is way about those on Herbie’s record.

Anthony Joshua hit the heaviest weight of his career on Friday, coming in 21lbs heavier than Jermaine Franklin ahead of the pair’s fight this weekend.

Joshua is looking to bounce back from two straight losses to Oleksandr Usyk as he boxes Franklin at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night. And at Friday’s weigh-ins, “AJ” came in at 255.4lbs (18.2 stone) compared to the 234.1lbs (16.7 stone) of his American opponent.

Briton Joshua was 11lbs heavier than he was in his last fight, a decision defeat by Usyk in August. Meanwhile, Franklin was 23lbs lighter than he was in his most recent bout, a controversial points loss to Dillian Whyte in November.

“I’ve got my gameplan, I’ve got my mind right, and I’m just ready to go to war,” said Joshua, 33. “I know I’ve got the possibility of [a knockout win], 100 percent, but there’s a process to get there. I just follow that process.”

Franklin, 29, then said: “He’s probably bulked up a little bit, but we’re ready for whatever. We got a chin of steel, so I’m not worried too much about power; he’s still got to be able to touch me with it.”

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told Dazn shortly thereafter: “I’m the closest person to the head-to-heads, I’m seeing Jermaine Franklin looking at Anthony Joshua. I don’t care what anyone says, [Franklin] is thinking: ‘Look at the size of this guy.’ I mean he’s an absolute tank.”

Franklin was unbeaten until his majority-decision loss to Whyte, while Joshua’s back-to-back points losses to Usyk were the second and third defeats of his career.

Joshua previously suffered a shock TKO loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019, before outpointing the Mexican-American six months later.
