Eddie Hearn: 'Anthony Joshua ready to fight anywhere, any time'

Anthony Joshua is due to take on mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev.

Anthony Joshua is prepared to fight "anywhere, any time" and would have no issue defending his world titles in an empty back garden, according to Eddie Hearn.

Joshua's career has effectively been put on hold by the coronavirus pandemic since he regained his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles from Andy Ruiz Jr last December in Saudi Arabia.

Promoter Hearn has been desperate to bring back the sport and erected a ring outside his Essex home to stage a series of behind-closed-doors events dubbed 'Fight Camp', which start on Saturday.

Irish fighter Katie Taylor will put her status as undisputed lightweight champion on the line in a rematch against Delfine Persoon on the Whyte-Povetkin bill.

Taylor added Persoon's WBC title to her WBA, IBF and WBO crowns at Madison Square Garden in June last year after a razor-thin majority decision verdict but many at ringside and beyond felt the Belgian deserved the nod.

"Many people believed Delfine Persoon won that fight," said Hearn.

"I think ever since we walked back to the changing rooms, Katie Taylor has thought, 'I want to put that thought out of people's minds. It was a close fight, I believe I won but I will do it again and I will prove to you that I am the best'.

"The undisputed lightweight title – part of a huge night. It's great to bring boxing back."
