April's Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia showdown sees two of boxing's most dangerous punchers face off, but who wears the crown for the hardest poun.

‘King Artur’, the poker-faced, black-bearded Russian is a horrible combination of natural power, suffocating pressure and great amateur skills meaning he has every punch in the book. Lost his biggest test by decision to Ilunga Makabu and there aren’t enough elite names on Papin’s record to say if his power is for real (yet). One of boxing’s most exciting rising stars with a record to match, 25-year-old Ortiz Jr has an action-packed style and pinpoint punching skills. Lucky to get a final-minute referee stoppage in his step-up fight against Viktor Postol, but the 100 per cent KO streak is a fun story for the prospect. “Either I’m going to knock you out, or you are going to knock me out,” is the mantra of Puerto Rican 140lb slugger Matias. In his past 14 fights, only one boxer has gone the distance with Japan’s ‘Monster’: Nonito Donaire, who was demolished in five minutes in a rematch. Still, ‘Boots’ boasts every punch in the book, able to overwhelm opponents with his varied arsenal. At age 37 and an ex-world champion, Dorticos’ peak years are behind him – but has still scored KO2s in his past two fights. The Londoner lost world title challenges to a pair of elite Russians, but shook both with his thunderous hooks. Throws shots with bad intentions and the chiselled super-middleweight scored a KO of the year contender against Nadjib Mohammedi in 2022. At his best, ‘Triple G’ went on a 23-KO middleweight streak and was the most feared hitter in boxing. Brit showed his power in the amateurs, scoring TKOs on his way to an Olympic bronze medal in 2016.

The former unified heavyweight champion looks to get back in the win column on Saturday night in London.

It also derailed the possibility of a showdown with fellow Englishman Tyson Fury to crown an undisputed champion in a fight that would have done incredible business as the biggest showdown in English boxing history. Ultimately, Whyte took a mildly-controversial majority decision, though Franklin proved he could hang with one of the better heavyweights in the world. Joshua entered the rematch as an underdog for the first time in his career. Joshua was able to dominate the rematch with Ruiz, winning back his titles in the process, and followed that up with a knockout win over Kubrat Pulev before facing off with former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. in June 2019 and the first sign that the wheels were starting to come off the Joshua wagon. After winning the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in front of his countrymen in London, Joshua quickly proved himself one of the top heavyweights in the professional ranks.

Tonight is the night Anthony Joshua begins his quest to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. Returning to London's O2 Arena for the first time ...

They have seen these classic Joshua finishes many times before and maybe their support would be the extra boost he needed to end the fight early. However, it’s clear there is still plenty to develop when it comes to the relationship between Joshua and his new trainer Derrick James, and maybe pushing for a world title shot in the Summer is a step too far. Clinches aplenty, Franklin looked to keep the fight at close range.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion looks to get back in the title picture on Saturday night.

Anthony Joshua vs. Franklin landed a few good jabs of his own and a good body shot but Joshua landed a hard right at the bell. Unofficial scorecard: 10-9 Joshua (70-63) Joshua again landed a good right hand and a big left that caused Franklin to storm forward with a flurry at the bell. Joshua landed a sneaky right hand as Franklin tried to walk forward with a combination. Franklin did connect with a good right hand on the end of a combination before Joshua clinched up again. Franklin was positively cracked by a Joshua right hand but Franklin again fired right back with his own punches and forced Joshua to clinch again. Joshua hit Franklin on the break and the referee just shrugged at the foul. 9 10 Joshua also doubled down throughout the build by routinely telling media members he would retire if he lost. Although Joshua was the clear winner -- CBS Sports also scored it 117-111 -- the 2012 Olympic gold medalist was far too conservative and looked unsure at times as he failed to drop or finish Franklin (24-2, 14 KOs).

Joshua added: "The ball is in his court. Who do the fans want?" Saturday's bout was billed as the start of a "new dawn" for the former heavyweight champion. "I know who the fans want. Franklin was quick to dodge many of Joshua's punches, and even looked to inflict damage himself with an aggressive flurry of punches at the end of Round 4.

He was given the win 118-111, 117-111, 117-111 on the scorecards of the three judges, marking a comeback of sorts after

LONDON -- So much of Saturday's fight was about starting a new chapter for former heavyweight unified champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua ended his in-ring speech by calling out his British counterpart, Fury, with whom he engaged in talks for a fight in December but fell apart. Tonight he also was without the pressure of a world title on the line, a fact he said in the build-up had been a weight off his large shoulders. Joshua's trademark during those hungry years had become his devastating straight right, and at the heaviest weight of his career (255.4 pounds) it was expected he would look to inflict damage on Saturday. Even his promoter, Eddie Hearn, admitted Joshua was "solid but not spectacular." This fight against Jermaine Franklin, therefore, was about resurrection -- a chance to rebuild his image and, more importantly, get back in the win column. This arena was where he made his pro debut and the stage when he won his first world title.
