Las Vegas is Now the Favoured Venue

It only seems like yesterday that the expected re-match between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko would take place in Nigeria.

Now, a matter of days later, it looks very much as if Las Vegas will get to stage the fight everyone will want to see whether it will live up to the first fight between the two giants of heavyweight boxing.

The Sun is reporting that Eddie Hearn has flown to Las Vegas to look at the possibility of staging the re-match on the 11th November.

With Hearn starting the negotiations, it is expected that Anthony Joshua will fly off to the US next week to join his promoter.

However, whilst plans are being put in place for Joshua to defend his WBA and IBF belts in the gambling capital of the world, it should be pointed out that Wladimir Klitsckho has still not indicated that he intends to fight on.

At 41-years-of-age Klitschko might have decided that enough is enough, we can but wait and see.

However, you can rest assured that as soon as anything official is announced we?ll report back further.
