Anthony Joshua set to rematch Wladimir Klitschko this year

Just over a month ago, heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko stepped in the ring with emerging superstar Anthony Joshua. After a ferocious, scintillating 10 rounds that saw both men hit the floor, Joshua came out in the 11th and dropped Klitschko twice to pick up the biggest victory of his career in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium.

It was widely expected that the two men would throw down again, and today, it appears that has been confirmed. Promoter Eddie Hearn led the speculation when speaking to Sky Sports, and then the IBF all but sealed the deal.
