Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn took to social media on Thursday to assure the boxing public he’s doing all he can to get the Anthony Joshua v Wladimir Klitschko fight over the line.
Rumors circulated Wednesday night that Joshua vs Klitschko may be a done deal. The event would see a switch south to London on November 26.
Hearn was quick to quell the whispers on Twitter.
In an Instagram post, Hearn relayed a ‘quick update.’ He stated that talks were ongoing with Klitschko’s representatives in the hope of getting the fight made.
The heavyweight division is wide open following Tyson Fury’s decision not to fight until 2017. The WBO, WBA, and IBO will decide on their titles soon.
Joshua vs Klitschko
Joshua vs. Klitschko could be made for at least two top-division belts. The Briton is currently in possession of the IBF version.
One or both WBA/WBO will likely gain sanction to make the fight a unification.
Despite initially wanting a massive fight at Wembley for ‘AJ’ in the summer, Hearn seems determined to take advantage of the opportunity. Joshua vs Klitschko arose directly from the misfortune of Fury.
Fury has been struggling with mental issues recently. He pulled out of two scheduled fights with Klitschko this year.
