.Promoter Eddie Hearn, who manages Joshua said his team has received offers from all over the world to stage the fight and as things stand there are four main options with also include Nigeria.

He said, “We are looking at America, Nigeria, Dubai or Cardiff,” he added, “Lagos sounds great but operationally it’s very difficult.”

Joshua unified the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles in April when he rose from the first knockdown of his professional career to stop

Klitschko in the 11th round in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium.
