And for the first time in Joshua’s career, he will complete his whole training camp away from home after linking up with Texas’ Derrick James.
Hearn is in America to promote Canelo Alvarez’s May 6 undisputed super-middleweight world title fight with Britain’s John Ryder.
And he used the Stateside trip to meet up with AJ in James’ gym.
He posted on Instagram: “Popped to Dallas to see the big man @anthonyjoshua finish off his US camp..ready to fly back to the U.K. to prepare for April 1st.”
Joshua, 33, lost the unified titles to Usyk, 36, in September 2021 and failed to regain them in the Saudi Arabia rematch last August.
But he looks to bounce back against Franklin, 29, who was controversially beaten by Dillian Whyte, 34, in November.
Hearn warned to expect a rejuvenated Joshua when he returns from his training camp in America.
