An Anthony Joshua Vegas showdown with Wladimir Klitschko looks set to be announced any day for the rematch.
Speculation had grown in recent times that Las Vegas was the front runner for the Joshua vs Klitschko rematch following Matchroom boss and Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn flying to Sin City last week in a bid to finalize terms with the relevant casinos involved in the bidding process.
T-Mobile Arena and MGM Grand appear to both be leading the way and reports recently suggest that November 11th or 18th could stage what could be the part two between the two heavyweights.
