Joshua-Klitschko bout

THE World Boxing Association has finally sanctioned a fight between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko for its “super” heavyweight title.

The fight will take place in the spring of 2017, but only if Joshua beats Eric Molina on December 10 in the British boxer’s second defense of his IBF title. The WBA super belt is vacant after Tyson Fury relinquished it last month, citing “clinical depression”. Fury beat Klitschko last November to take the WBA, IBF and minor WBO titles off the Ukrainian. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said yesterday “we will now move forward with Bernd Boente (Klitschko’s manager) and Team Klitschko in planning the date and venue, knowing that victory against Eric Molina in Manchester on December 10 is more important than ever.”
