While talking about the matchup, Hearn said, “Is there a set date for Pulev-Joshua? Yes, it will be December 12. We are just getting that over the line. Hopefully, you will get an announcement next week.”

That said, boxing fans can witness some high-voltage heavyweight action in the coming days. On November 28, Hearn will stage the rematch between Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin for the WBC interim title.

Also, Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 might happen in December. All these fights can change the landscape of the heavyweight division. Thus, fight fans will be in for a show in the concluding months of 2020.
