Eddie Hearn, promoter of IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, says that he plans two fights with WBC champion Deontay Wilder. One in the US and the other one in the UK. According to Hearn, a duel of this magnitude can easily fill the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.

"It could have been filled with Britons alone," Hearn said. "We are open to a fight against Wilder in the United States. I think it makes sense to make two such fights, and not because we are concerned about some kind of rematch clause or something, but because it will be the biggest event in boxing. Why not hold it twice? The fans will like it. One at Wembley, the other one at Vegas or Barclays Center in Brooklyn."
