Eddie Hearn said that if negotiations for a fight between Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) and Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) in Saudi Arabia will end in failure, he is ready to organize it in another country.
The head of Matchroom Boxing would like to see London or Las Vegas host the mega-fight. According to Hearn, the fight could take place in the spring of next year, and it is possible that the status of mandatory challenger for the WBC heavyweight title will be at stake.
Previously, Joshua was going to fight in the UK on December 21, of course, if the Saudis did not organize a fight for him with Wilder.
