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.

This fight against Jermaine Franklin, therefore, was about resurrection -- a chance to rebuild his image and, more importantly, get back in the win column.

"It’s all respect, but at the same time it’s a fight. "It would be ideal [to have a tune-up fight in between], after that long layoff to get active.
