According
to promoter Eddie Hearn, Anthony
Joshua's proposed rematch with Wladimir
Klitschko has a likely venue of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A second
world heavyweight title fight between Joshua and Klitschko is set to take place
in November, and Hearn flew out to Nevada this week to hold meetings with MGM
bosses about staging the bout in their 20,000 seated facility.
Hearn revealed last month that Las Vegas was the
preferred option, despite interest in Dubai, Nigeria
and Cardiff, and was impressed with the state-of-the-art venue, which only
opened in April last year.
He said “We met with Richard Sturm and the team at MGM in
Las Vegas yesterday and had a full tour of the T-Mobile Arena which is very
impressive, there is a huge appetite from both sides to hold the rematch there
and we will be talking further over the next week or so to see if that can
become a reality.”
