Anthony Joshua signs two fight Wembley deal

Anthony Joshua has signed a deal that will see his next two fights take place at Wembley.

Joshua, 28, will compete at the national stadium on 22 September and 13 April. The WBA, IBF and WBO champion beat Wladimir Klitschko there in April 2017 but has since fought twice at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

His opponent on 22 September will be confirmed next week but is expected to be Russia's Alexander Povetkin, the WBA's mandatory challenger.

The next may come against American WBC world champion Deontay Wilder, in a bout for all four belts in April.
