Hearn names potential dates of Joshua vs Parker fight

Eddie Hearn, the promoter of WBA, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, says that his client's battle with the WBO champion Joseph Parker is possible in the spring of 2018.

"We want a unification fight, and we are close to the deal with Parker. We have three possible dates for the match - March 24, March 31 or April 7. The meeting can take place on one of the arenas in London, we also consider Wales and several cities of continental Europe. I hope that we will be able to announce the official date of the battle in early 2018," says Hearn.
