“AJ is fighting twice this year so any delay could only be a couple of weeks because we want to make sure he’s good to go in December again,” Hearn said. “Look, July 23 is still the working date but if there was a delay it wouldn’t be a major deal for anyone, it’s just time. “It’s a big deal. It has taken a long time, but these deals do. It’s the way it is. We are very happy with our partners, we are very happy with the deal, we are very happy with the process, and we are looking forward to a big event and you’ll be hearing about it soon.”
Usyk scored an upset win over Joshua when they first met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London last September, outpointing the Englishman over 12 rounds to win the WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight titles.Open account offer.
