Anthony Joshua To Fight Alexander Povetkin At Wembley

It was made official on Monday that Anthony Joshua will defend his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world titles against WBA "mandatory challenger" Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium on Sept. 22, according to Gareth A. Davies of the London TELEGRAPH. It will be a pay-per-view event on Sky Sports Box Office, with 90,000 seats available inside the national stadium. Joshua will return to "the scene of his historical triumph" over "long-reigning" champion Wladimir Klitschko in April '17. The 28-year-old "went on to sell out the Principality Stadium in Cardiff twice." Joshua said, "I can’t wait to get back in the ring, the end of March feels a long time ago now. Povetkin is a serious challenge that I will prepare meticulously for. He has serious pedigree and only a fool would underestimate what he brings to the table." Povetkin "earned his shot at Joshua" when he defeated David Price (TELEGRAPH, 7/16).
