Promoter Eddie Hearn says meetings have been held which could see Anthony Joshua fight in the stadium that hosted the famous 'Rumble in the Jungle' in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.

Muhammad Ali stunned the world by knocking out George Foreman to win the world heavyweight title there in 1974.

Hearn says it is probably the most famous venue, or fight, of all time.

He says the DRC is looking to regenerate the stadium adding that  is special, that's legacy, that's career-defining.

Following bouts against Ruiz in New York and the Middle East, Hearn said Joshua's next fight will "likely" be in the UK - with Bulgaria's Kubrat Pulev the likely opponent.
