Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight title fight against Kubrat Pulev could be rescheduled to July, promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed.
Britain’s unified champion had been due to defend his belts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20, live on Sky Sports Box Office, but Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn admitted a new date for the fight is being considered.
“A requirement for Anthony in his next fight, a necessity for him was to box in the UK,” said Hearn. “June 20 is a long time away, it’s still in our plans. We have been speaking to Tottenham and making sure that we’re all on the same page.
“We know we have the same strategy moving forward. Obviously the Premier League decision will play a big part in a number of sports. Plans to put new dates in place and that fight as well.
“For the Anthony Joshua fight, already potential plans to move that fight back to July. We do have a potential date for that, but right now, hoping June 20 can remain the date.”
