Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight title rematch with Wladimir Klitschko has been @pencilled in” for November 11.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn added that the fight is likely to take place in Las Vegas, with either the MGM Grand or the T-Mobile Arena the expected venue for the encounter.
The British boxer took hold of the IBF, WBA (super) and IBO heavyweight belts when he knocked Klitschko out in the 11th round of their contest at Wembley Stadium in April.
Hearn told Sky Sports News: “I’ve been in Vegas with AJ, officially applying for my Nevada boxing license to promote there and that went well.
“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.‘”
