Eddie Hearn would like to see Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Uzyk 2 in London, but admits that revenue will be double' outside the UK

EDDIE HEARN would love to host Anthony Joshua's high stakes rematch with Oleksandr Uzyk in London, but she admits that the fight will not generate as much money in the UK.

Joshua will seek revenge for his mistreatment by the southpaw this summer, but a date has yet to be set.

The Saudis, who are oil-rich, are currently the front-runners for the bout. Hearn also admits that a dust-up in the desert will bring in more than twice as much revenue than it would in London.

According to him, The Mirror asked him: "We would like it in London but Usyk is on a portion of the revenue.

"It's likely more than twice to do it elsewhere, so we're up for that.

"We would like it in London, because it gives you an advantage, it gives AJ a edge, and we'd definitely gain an edge in that fight."

"But, ultimately, both fighters must be satisfied with the deal and we need to generate as much revenue for that fight as possible."

Joshua's current date of Joshua's second dance is July 23. Usyk recently left the frontlines in Ukraine to prepare for the maiden defense of the unified Heavyweight titles.

Hearn stated that the fight was 100 percent happening in July.

"We are closing the date, venue, and all details at the moment and will make an announcement very soon."

Hearn, 42 years old, plans to announce Joshua's date of destiny in the next ten day.

Recently, he stated to the DAZN Boxing Show that "We'll Be in July, July 23, 23."

"That's the frontrunner, we're in final negotiation with sites in the Middle East or the UK.

"We looked at America but I don’t believe that is where it will take place.

"I would like to be in a place, fight week for Canelo where we have some new news."

Joshua, 32, was defeated in his Tottenham duel with Usyk, a former cruiserweight king.

AJ is determined to exact revenge on the Ukrainians, declaring: "I'm done f***ing losing." I'm done trying to learn sweet science.
