About this Event

Anthony Joshua will challenge Charles Martin for the IBF world heavyweight title at The O2 on April 9, live on Sky Sports Box Office, it has been confirmed.



Martin (23-0-1-KO21) travels to England to make the first defence of the title that he won in Brooklyn in January against Vyacheslav Glazkov. It will be the unbeaten American's first fight outside the United States.



Joshua (15-0-KO15) has quickly turned The O2 into his boxing fortress, with five of his 15 victories coming at the London venue, including his last outing where he added the British title to his Commonwealth strap with a seventh round stoppage of bitter rival Dillian Whyte.
