Nigerian-British boxer,  Anthony Joshua returned to winning ways on Saturday night with an unanimous victory over Jermaine Franklin, the US boxer.

Joshua was adjudged the winner at the O2 Arena in London after a grueling contest for 12 rounds.

The three judges scored Joshua 118-111, 117-111, 117-111 to win the bout.
