Two world championship bouts could feature on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s return fight against Kristian Prega on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly both under consideration.
Eddie Hearn revealed the plans to BoxingScene, noting the Turki Alalshikh-funded card will carry a substantial undercard.
I think there could be two world championship fights on the undercard. Hamzah Sheeraz may be one of those as well. Obviously we’ll talk to Frank Warren and Spencer Brown and everybody, and Josh Kelly could feature on there as well. That’ll be announced this coming week.
Sheeraz won the WBO super middleweight title last month. Kelly claimed the IBF junior middleweight belt in January and is expected to defend against Caoimhin Agyarko.
Joshua returns for the first time since December, when he was involved in a car accident that claimed the lives of two close friends — an incident that occurred days after his six-round stoppage of Jake Paul.
