Heavyweight Champ To Fight At Wembley

World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next two fights are at Wembley Stadium in September and April. Joshua will defend his WBA, IBF and WBO belts there on Sept. 22, and return to Wembley on April 13. His promoter, Matchroom, was in negotiations with WBA mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin for September after dealings for a unification bout with WBC champion Deontay Wilder stalled. An announcement is expected next week. Joshua’s successful challenge against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley drew a British postwar attendance record of 90,000 in April 2017.
