Joshua to become a free TV agent after Usyk fight
Saturday's fight with Oleksandr Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) will be the last for Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) under contract with TV giant Sky Sports. The Briton will become a free agent in that regard and will be able to sign with other TV partners.
A few months ago, Eddie Hearn decided that all of his UK nights would be broadcast on the DAZN platform, thus ending his long association with Sky. That agreement did not apply to Joshua, as his fights are broadcast exclusively on Pay-Per-View's broadcast system.
"Anthony has a lot of options. Everyone is interested in signing him as he is one of the biggest names in the world of sports. We'll see what offers come in and what decision he makes," Hearn said.

Joshua renewed his promotion contract with Matchroom on Tuesday. The deal will last until the end of the reigning IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion's career.
