By David Alexander: Eddie Hearn is heading to New York for talks with Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) as a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) moves ever closer. The Matchroom boss will meet with Al Haymon and Shelly Finkel, the two main advisors to WBC heavyweight title holder Wilder, on Thursday to discuss the possibility of a summer unification blockbuster with WBA, IBO and WBO champ Joshua.
By David Alexander: The 27-year-old mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) has been hailed as one of the hottest talents in America ahead of his first world title fight against Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) at Bramall Lane, United Kingdom on Saturday. Brook proved himself at the top level when he took the IBF belt with a UD win over Shawn Porter (27-1-2, 17 KOs), but is returning from a punishing stoppage defeat to Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. who was raised in Texas, will travel across the pond to Sheffield, England to face a hostile and pro-Brook crowd on May 27.
