Jermaine Franklin, who faces Dillian Whyte on November 26, has landed several jobs with the WBC World Heavyweight Champion.
Franklin, from Michigan USA, is undefeated in his professional boxing campaign. Even so, while his 21 wins with 14 knockouts, it’s fair to say Dillian Whyte is the biggest step forward in the confrontation. One way Franklin might be trying to get around not having to face the likes of Whyte in the ring is to make sure he does so in the gym.
The upcoming heavyweight contender is in the UK preparing for the fray, and recently found himself in a gym in Morecambe – more specifically, Tyson Fury’s training camp. Franklin seemed to have provoked both the Champion and prospect David Adeleye during his visit. During the experience, according to Metrohe asked how to beat Whyte.
“I went to Tyson’s camp. I tell you I learned a lot on the first day. I realized what a lot of people don’t believe or don’t want to believe – I can compete with heavyweight’s Tyson Fury. He is the best, but I believe I also have the skill and talent to be a champion.”
“In his camp, in this short period of time, I learned how to run the camp, how to prepare, and also humbled myself to ask other boxers how they were successful. Yes, I will and have asked Fury about how to defeat Whyte. “
While rounds against ‘The Gypsy King’ have always been beneficial, his knocking out Whyte in six innings at Wembley in April – the very match that put Whyte on this comeback path – also added some extra value. taste in the mixture. Did Fury give any advice on how to land on the end of a teamfight?

The host fighter is also seriously preparing. He recently linked up with the trainer, Buddy McGirt, and has worked out US gyms for several states with Gerald Washington.
Whyte faces Franklin on November 26 at Wembley Arena in London. When the fight was announced, ‘The Bodysnatcher’ said he would teach his opponent a number of lessons in the ring, most importantly ‘how to lose’.
