BBC Sport at O2 Arena, London

Good evening from the O2 Arena in London. This is a huge night – perhaps the most important – of Anthony Joshua’s career.

The Olympic golden boy has treated us to some fantastic nights. The Dillian Whyte rivalry, the epic Wladimir Klitschko fight, brutal knockouts of several challengers. Even his losses, a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr or being twice outclassed by Oleksandr Usyk, have kept us entertained.

Put simply, there is rarely a dull Anthony Joshua fight. But a loss to Jermaine Franklin tonight and it’s hard to see where ‘AJ’ goes next.

Hello and welcome along to BBC Sport's coverage of the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Jermaine Franklin.

I'm Michael Emons and it is my pleasure to be talking you through all the action.

We have radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live later on with our coverage beginning at 22:00 BST and you can listen to it all in this very page.

There's always something special about an Anthony Joshua fight. Should be a good one.

Two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua wants to get his gold back.

After August's defeat against Oleksandr Usyk, we weren't sure if or when we would see Anthony Joshua fight again, but he's back in action, back in Britain and back where it all started - at the O2 in London.

If he is to have any chance of winning his belts back in the future, he has to get the job done against American Jermaine Franklin tonight.
