“We have a location, that's true,” Arum told Barbershop Conversations. "We have a location and, as far as the date is confirmed, we haven't zeroed in on a date.

"It could be as late as June because it would give more time to solve the coronavirus problem. By June, most people will be vaccinated, so it's possible.

"And then we would do the fight, pay-per-view in the UK and pay-per-view early evening in the United States."

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has previously admitted the first bout between the pair will almost certainly take place abroad, although a rematch could still return to Wembley Stadium.

Joshua fought in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, when he avenged his defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.
