Anthony Joshua set to headline major fight at Wembley Stadium in September for world title

British heavyweight Anthony Joshua is gearing up for a potential headline fight at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium this September, as confirmed by promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. The driving force behind some of boxing’s biggest fights, Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment authority, intends to host a show in London later this year.

Fans have been clamoring for British fighters like Joshua to compete on home soil more frequently, especially with the heavyweight spotlight largely focused on Saudi Arabia in recent years. It seems their wishes may soon be granted with a major event in the works for September.

Heavyweight Filip Hrgovic, who is set to face Daniel Dubois on June 1, has revealed that the winner of their bout is likely to challenge Joshua for a world title in London. Excitement is building as Hrgovic eyes a shot at the IBF belt and a showdown with Joshua at Wembley.

While Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are scheduled to battle for the undisputed heavyweight championship in May, plans can quickly shift in the unpredictable world of boxing. Hrgovic believes that a potential matchup between Fury and Joshua could pave the way for him to face the British heavyweight in a highly anticipated bout.

Warren has promised that the September fight will be a major event, with Hearn hinting that Joshua’s next opponent could be either Dubois or Hrgovic. The prospect of two London fighters squaring off for a world title at Wembley has fans buzzing with anticipation.

As the boxing world eagerly awaits confirmation of Joshua’s next move, all eyes are on the potential showdown set to take place on home turf in September. Stay tuned for more updates on what promises to be a blockbuster event in the world of heavyweight boxing.
