Anthony Joshua Agrees To Fight Wladimir Klitschko by Xavier9ja(m): 2:39pm On Oct 17, 2016 |
Eddie Hearn wants to confirm how many belts will
be contested before officially announcing the fight
this week for December 10 or 17 at Manchester
Arena.
Anthony Joshua has agreed terms for his world
heavyweight title showdown with Wladimir
Klitschko.
But promoter Eddie Hearn wants to confirm how
many belts will be contested before officially
announcing the fight this week for December 10 or
17 at Manchester Arena.
Joshua will defend his IBF crown, while the IBO have
sanctioned the fight, and Hearn is negotiating with
the WBA and WBO to try to persuade them to put
their belts on the line.
“Basically, the deal is done with us and Klitschko,”
said Hearn. “I would say the terms are agreed, but
there are things that have to fall into place for it to
be signed.
“We are just making sure when we make our
announcement, we announce what belts are on the
line rather than announcing two and then adding a
couple.”
Meanwhile, IBF super-middleweight champ James
DeGale is close to agreeing a unification fight with
WBC title holder Badou Jack in the US on December
10. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-agrees-terms-world-9058217
