Britain’s world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua would fight behind closed doors only as a last resort.
This is according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.
The British Boxing Board of Control says it hoped professional boxing could resume in July without spectators after everything was put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It added that any event would be limited to five fights at most, subject to review, with strict social distancing for anyone present.
Hearn says he wants to give themselves every opportunity to stage AJ in front of a crowd adding they have to probably bite the bullet and say he’s only going to box once this year.
