Anthony Joshua's fight with Pulev WON'T be behind closed doors, says Hearn amid coronavirus crisis

Anthony Joshua's world title fight against Kubrat Pulev will not be behind closed doors, Eddie Hearn has insisted despite the coronavirus outbreak causing major disruption to sporting events.

Joshua will defend his WBA, WBO and IBF world titles against Bulgarian Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20.

There have been growing concerns that the coronavirus crisis could impact Joshua's first fight on home soil since 2018 as extreme measures are being taken in the world of sport in a bid to contain and prevent the spread of the disease.
