Hearn: "Usyk-Joshua 2 in late April or early May"

Negotiations between teams Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) are underway, but the date of the rematch for the fight for the three heavyweight championship belts has not yet been officially confirmed. Eddie Hearn says the fight will take place in the spring. The most likely venue is the UK.

April is the real date. We are thinking about a football stadium in London, so the second half of April or the beginning of May fits this concept. Then the weather will be really good, and it will support our idea of ​​​​holding this event, ”said Hearn.

“This is a fight that Joshua must win, so despite foreign offers, the fight will take place on British soil. We had a lot of offers from other countries, because this is a fight that everyone wants to see, ”added the head of Matchroom Boxing.

Joshua recently announced that there will be changes in his coaching staff. Recently, the Englishman has been training in Dubai with Anthony Wilson. Previously, he was in the United States, where he did trial training with several well-known trainers. At the moment, the former world heavyweight champion has not yet named the name of his new coach.
