Eddie Hearn wants to have Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez fight in Abu Dhabi

Anthony Joshua Canelo Alvarez Eddie Hearn Abu Dhabi Matchroom Matchroom Boxing UAE Oleksandr Usyk

Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn plans to have some of the sport's biggest stars such as Canelo Alvarez and Anthony Joshua fight in Abu Dhabi next year.

Hearn discussed the possibility of having Alvarez and Joshua fight in the UAE while previewing Matchroom's upcoming event in the region on November 5, as light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol defends his belt against unbeaten Gilberto Ramirez. Joshua has competed twice in Saudi Arabia, losing out to Oleksandr Usyk last month in their rematch in Jeddah, but has never competed in UAE.

All of Alvarez's professional fights have either taken place in Mexico or the US and he would also be making his UAE debut. "The name's mentioned are all in play for 2023, Canelo Alvarez, Katie Taylor, Anthony Joshua, these are the kind of stars you're going to see coming to Abu Dhabi," Hearn told Off Script on Dubai Eye.
