Eddie Hearn has admitted he is "almost out of time" to stage Anthony Joshua's second meeting with Oleksandr Usyk on July 23.
The British star's revenge mission remains likely to take place this summer in Saudi Arabia, 10 months after he lost his belts to the Ukrainian. The rematch has already been delayed once with Usyk bravely taking up arms against Russian invasion.
And Hearn confirmed that while a lucrative meeting in the desert remains the most likely option, he may have to push it back again. “July 23, in the Middle East is the frontrunner," he told the DAZN Boxing Show. “We’re almost out of time for that date if we don’t get the deal done this week.
