Premier League stars Wilfried Zaha, Bukayo Saka and Alex Iwobi all in attendance as Anthony Joshua defeats Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena, after the Crystal palace star was forced off the field with an injury against Leicester

Premier League football stars Bukayo Saka and Wilfried Zaha were both in attendance at Anthony Joshua's fight against Jermiane Franklin at the O2 Arena on Saturday night.

Everton Star Alexander Iwobi was also in attendance at the fight as Joshua returned to the ring for the first time since his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last year.

The British fighter defeated Jermaine Franklin by unanimous decision with judges scoring the bout 118-111, 117-111, 117-111 in Joshua's favour.

The win, in front of a packed out crowd at the O2, will take his fight record to 25 wins for three losses and it's safe to say the footballing stars were treated to a feast of fight action both during and after the fight.
