Joshua, Klitschko get November 11 rematch date

ANTHONY Joshua’s promoter, Eddie
Hearn, have confirmed that the much
awaited Joshua-Klitschko heavyweight
world champion’s rematch will hold
November 11.
Joshua knocked out Klitschko in the 11th
round of a thrilling contest at Wembley
Stadium in April.
Hearn last month confirmed Las Vegas
was the front-runner to host a rematch and
it now appears that the only thing left is an
official announcement of the fight’s location
and date.
“I’ve been in Vegas with AJ, officially
applying for my Nevada boxing license to
promote there and that went well, Hearn
told Sky Sports News.
“I met with the MGM and met with the
T-Mobile Arena. Vegas is the front runner and
November 11 is the date that is pencilled in.
“It will probably take a couple of weeks
to get everything over the line, but I believe
Klitschko will take this fight and believe Vegas
will be the one.
“The amount of British fight fans that
would travel there, it will be a momentous
occasion and one that we will savour for a
long time so fingers crossed it’s a party in Las
Vegas on November 11.”
Stephen Espinoza, head of American
broadcaster Showtime, added: “It’s no
secret we’ve been salivating about getting
him over here and certainly that would be a
phenomenal fight.
