Anthony Joshua is set for a possible return to the ring on the same night as Tyson Fury goes toe-to-toe with Oleksandr Uysk following signed contracts to set up their undisputed bout as negotiations continue to set up potential Deontay Wilder battle.
Now, AJ has been tipped by his promoter to fight Deontay Wilder on the night although Uysk and Fury are yet to decide a date as the Gypsy King prepares for big money Ngannou Francis fight in Saudi Arabia.
Boxing fans could find themselves treated between another high-profile bout on the night, with the rescheduled meeting of Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr also tipped to be on that same night.
Eubank and Benn were due to meet in 2022 before Benn failed two drugs tests ahead of the meeting.
As reported by the Sun, Hearn suggested that the night could also feature a fight for Joshua, as negotiations over when AJ will face American rival Deontay Wilder continue.
Assessing Joshua’s potential face off with Wilder which Hearn previously talked up as an opportunity for the British fighter to ‘knock out’ the Bronze Bomber, the promoter suggested the venue could either be ‘Vegas or Wembley’.
“I think both guys actually genuinely want the fight and when you get fights like Fury-Usyk made it does give everybody a little nudge to say, let’s make ours now,” Hearn shared as he further sheds light on ongoing discussions with Wilder’s promoter Shelly Finkel.
“And there’s a definite feeling from their team and ours to get that fight over the line”.
Joshua has been unbeaten in 2023, recording wins against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius on home soil at The 02 Arena.
