Has a replacement been found for Usyk? Hearn talks about boxing night in Saudi Arabia

Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn commented on the large-scale boxing event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which will take place on December 23. Earlier it was planned that Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury would fight on that day, but their fight was postponed to 2024.

After that, the organizers decided to look for new top fighters who would attract the attention of the public. Anthony Joshua could be one of them.

"I don't want to talk too much. I always say more than I should. I'll just say that we were also invited to this event," Hearn said in an interview with the Boxingsocial YouTube channel, as translated by Vringe.

Hearn hinted that Joshua's fight in Saudi Arabia is not unlikely.

"I would say that... If AJ does fight on December 23, it won't be in Britain. I'm afraid that's all I can tell you right now," the promoter concluded.
