Why it's boom or bust for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury ahead of AJ vs Jermain Franklin

Daily Mail  

Boxing needs a lift. Anthony Joshua could give boxing a huge lift by setting up an epic fight against Tyson Fury But the British star will first have to negotiate his way past Jermain Franklin on Saturday to have any chance of setting up the long-awaited showdown Opponents like these were once seen as cannon-fodder for AJ. Hearn has made no secret of his trepidation about whether all of this works out - and how much is riding on Saturday's big fight - where Joshua will face a tough opponent whose only defeat came in a majority decision defeat to Dillian Whyte last year that many felt could have swung the other way. Joshua has lost his air of vulnerability and is seeking to return to his explosive best The 33-year-old reigned as world champion for five years and needs to rediscover his old ways to perk up the attention of Fury His promoter Eddie Hearn has already admitted he is 'nervous' for the fight knowing Fury lies in wait for Joshua 'I truly believe that as long as AJ beats Franklin we will see him against Fury in the summer,' he told Sportsmail this week. Fury and Joshua scrapped negotiations to fight last year but the Gypsy King will be tempted by a summer bout Fury needs an opponent after talks for an undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk collapsed Then we thought it was really the last opportunity when Fury offered Joshua that surprise wildcard in November.
