The Watford-born boxing star will start on the comeback trail on April 1
He confirmed the contest in a tweet which contained a poster for the fight and read: “A new dawn.”
Joshua was ringside in November when Franklin lost to Dillian Whyte at Wembley Arena, the first defeat of the American’s 22-fight career. There had been speculation prior to Joshua being beaten by Usyk for a second time that the former Olympic champion may walk away from the sport. It was immediately put to bed following the third loss of his career when he showed his willingness to take on Fury during September talks.While those plans fell through and conjecture over a rematch with Whyte never took off, he will begin his latest quest on the path to another world title shot at the O2 Arena.
