Some seriously good speed from Franklin in defense. However, Joshua was able to throw a series of body shots while they were clinching.
Joshua back to the jab, it’s brutal how it bounces off Franklin’s skull.
But that right slips in from Franklin, he’s dangerous, the distance wasn’t measured accurately so Joshua absorbs the punishment well enough.
There’s the uppercut! It’s Joshua’s most memorable shot from his fine career and Franklin was rocked there.
Both men trade at the bell and Joshua grins after partially blocking the Franklin attack.
He’s up here, but he can’t relax.
