Eddie Hearn said that a decision will be made regarding the next fight in the coming days Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs). It is possible that the former two-time world heavyweight champion will return to the ring on December 23 at a boxing event that will take place in Saudi Arabia.

“A lot is happening, interesting options are emerging and everything will be decided soon. The date is approaching when we must make a final decision,” said the Matchroom Boxing boss.

Joshua's potential opponents in December included, most notably, European champion Agit Kabayel. This year the Briton had two fights, the last time he fought in August.
