Anthony Joshua clash with Kubrat Pulev in doubt at Tottenham Stadium over coronavirus outbreak with decision next week
ANTHONY JOSHUA'S showdown against Kubrat Pulev is in serious doubt - with a decision set to be made next week.
The Brit is scheduled to face the Bulgarian hardman on June 20 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But the heavyweight clash looks likely to be postponed until a later date due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
Joshua, 30, and Pulev, 38, will find out next week whether the title fight will go ahead as planned.
It was confirmed earlier this week that all British boxing fights have been axed until at least the end of April.
Promoter Eddie Hearn will look to reschedule AJ's fight against Pulev for July if it is postponed next week.
He said: "A requirement for Anthony in his next fight, a necessity for him, was to box in the UK.
"June 20 is a long time away, it's still in our plans.
"We have been speaking to Tottenham and making sure that we're all on the same page.
"For the Anthony Joshua fight, there are already potential plans to move that fight back to July.
"We do have a potential date for that, but right now, hoping June 20 can remain the date."
Joshua is currently in self-isolation following the news that Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus.
The heavyweight champion is stuck indoors as he met the 71-year-old just 16 days ago in London.
