Anthony Joshua had been due to face Kubrat Pulev in June, but the coronavirus pandemic forced its postponement with a December date now planned

The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight king had been due to fight Pulev in June with Hearn now keen to delay the fight for a sufficient amount of time to hopefully allow fans to attend.

"But it's still not a gimme at all. There's still a very strong chance that AJ will have to fight behind closed doors." Hearn also confirmed The O2 Arena in London is now the preferred venue for the fight, rather than the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which was originally scheduled to host the bout.
