THE undercard for Anthony Joshua’s fight with Jermaine Franklin has been revealed – but fans are less than impressed.
AJ returns to the O2 Arena for the first time in seven years for his comeback bout against American Franklin on April 1.
And the eight-bout undercard has now been put together ahead of the fight night.
British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley faces American veteran Michael Polite-Coffie in the co-feature bout.
Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams – on the verge of a big fight with Felix Cash – returns against experienced Brit River Wilson-Bent.
Ricky Hatton’s son Campbell is also in action having just improved to 10-0 while John Hedges fights ex-Tommy Fury opponent Daniel Bocianski.

One joked: “I’m in a ballot for free tickets for the fight, I’m hoping I don’t win.”
