JOSHUA vs TAKAM: HOW ANTHONY JOSHUA STOPPED CARLOS TAKAM
“Anthony Joshua wants to be in the real fights, I promise you, I promise the fans Anthony Joshua will give you the fights that you want, I promise you that.
“Deontay Wilder,Joseph Parker, Tyson Fury are the 2018 fights.”
Joshua has been linked with a fight abroad with both Nigeria and Las Vegas outed as possible venues after switching to Cardiff after fighting mainly in London.
But Hearn says he wants to keep Joshua in the UK.
“I don’t think we should go abroad, I think we should stay right here,” he added.
We should keep the British flag flying but I promise you he will fight anyone.”
And Hearn ended his ring talk with a message for Wilder.
“Deontay will be relieved of his belt in 2018 by Joshua,” he said.
