In May and June Eddie Hearn plans to organize three big nights as part of PPV, where in the main events Dillian Whyte will face Alexander Povetkin (2 May), Alexander Usyk to meet Derek Chisora ​​(23 May) and Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev (June 20). At the moment, despite the pandemic coronavirus, head of Matchroom Boxing does not postpone his tournaments, but, as he himself stated in an interview to Sky Sports, he already has new dates for them.

"May evenings are not canceled, but we are ready for anything," Hearn said. "We can move Whyte card to mid-June, and Chisora ​​vs Usyk at the end of June or beginning of July."

"There's also, of course, June 20, where Anthony Joshua fights at Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Now everything depends on the Premier League. If they extend the season, "Spurs" will need their stadium. We already have a new possible date - July 25, according to which we are negotiating with the club," the British promoter said.
