Eddie Hearn said that the battle of Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) and Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) will almost certainly take place outside the UK. The British promoter does not want to organize this fight without the support of the audience, and in the UK, probably, in the near future there will be no other option.
“We will see which country will be the first to open events for spectators. Of course, we are thinking of Saudi Arabia, where we already have experience. We do not know, however, whether Pulev will agree to this place. We may have to look for another country,” the head of the Matchroom Boxing said.
“Joshua really wanted to have a fight in front of his fans, but it seems so far this is not possible. However, we will have to make a decision and make this fight,” Hearn added.
Kubrat Pulev has already announced that he will donate half of his purse for the fight against coronavirus in his native Bulgaria. It should be about 1.5 million euros.
