Joshua weighed in at 18st 3lbs – the heaviest of his career – for the make-or-break Franklin bout.
AJ has lost back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk, but is aiming to reignite his stuttering career against the American.
But despite his fierce demeanour in and around the ring, Chloe revealed he is a “gentlemen outside of the ring”.
She told SunSport: “I met him a few fights ago when I was last ring girling, and he is such a down-to-earth guy and I had a proper chat with him.
“He always has time for you, which is lovely.
“I am really excited, I think he is going to smash it on fight night and I can’t wait to see him in action as this is my first AJ fight.”
