Joshua, Klitschko rematch possible for Las Vegas

By Daily Sports on June 29, 2017

IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua might need to do some traveling if he wants to fight a rematch with the 41-year-old Wladimir Klitschko.

According to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, Las Vegas, Nevada is the leading candidate for the location for the rematch between the two heavyweights. The rematch between Joshua and Klitschko could take place in November if Wladimir is on board with continuing his boxing career. Wladimir hasn’t said yet whether he’ll return for a second fight.

Hearn has spoken to Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente recently and it appears they’re interested in taking the fight to the States in Vegas. Not surprisingly, Hearn wants to stage the fight in England if he can get his way. That would mean that Wladimir would need to fight Joshua twice in a row in the UK, as their previous fight on April 29 took place in London, England.

Wladimir may not want to fight in front of another pro-Joshua crowd, because he had the fight under control going into the 10th round. The crowd started cheering for Joshua after he landed a decent shot. From that point on, Joshua started to fight with adrenalin and was able to get back into the fight to eventually knock Wladimir out in the 11th.

“I have been in talks with Bernd Boente and the team,” Hearn told Sky Sports News HQ. “Vegas has taken a little bit of a frontrunner in those. Nigeria is still in the mix, Dubai as well, and of course Cardiff. But like I said, Vegas has probably got its nose in front at the moment.”
