After meeting with Joshua in Dubai, Hearn, who is currently attending a lot of Matchroom Boxing events, disclosed that he had an unexpected trip to Riyadh.
“There will be an extended partnership with Matchroom, but there are also clear discussions about a variety of fights.” Naturally, there are a lot of conversations about AJ,” Hearn told The Stomping Ground.
I don’t want to ruin it, so I won’t go into too much detail, but I have great plans for Anthony Joshua.
See, we’re prepared. When you sit down with His Excellency, it’s like, “I had a flight back, I had to cancel the flight because he just goes in that mode, and it’s very difficult to explain, and he just wants to do business.” It was a wonderful meeting with AJ in Dubai. He also wants to finish everything as soon as possible.
After losing to Daniel Dubois in a September world heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium last year, Joshua is being prepared for a rematch in Nigeria early in the following year.
In what he called “the Rumble in the Jungle II,” Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole has offered to take on the British-Nigerian boxer.
