British heavyweight Anthony Joshua’s defence of his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world titles against Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev has been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The fight was scheduled to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 20 June.
A statement from Joshua’s promoter Matchroom Boxing said a new date for the fight “was being worked on”.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said recently that if the delays go on beyond the summer and Joshua can only fight once this year, then the preferred opponent would be Tyson Fury for an all-British heavyweight unification bout.
Fury, however, is expected to complete his trilogy with Deontay Wilder and would need the latter to step aside if any fight with Joshua is to happen.
