A location for Anthony Joshua's heavyweight showdown with Kubrat Pulev will be decided within the next three weeks, according to the Bulgarian's manager.

The Brit was due to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles against Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20, but the coronavirus crisis caused the fight to be cancelled.

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has been in talks over a number of possible alternatives should Spurs' £1billion ground prove unsuitable.
