By Jeff Aronow: In bad news for British boxing, British prime minister Boris Johnson has announced that he plans on reviewing the idea of allowing live sporting events in England beginning on October 1st. Recently, there’s been an increase in cases for the COVID-19, and it’s not a good idea for sporting events to resume in front of live crowds beginning next month in England. Johnson also said that the pilot events in September would be limited to 1,000 fans in attendance. Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn hasn’t said what his Plan-B option is for Joshua’s December 12th fight against Kubrat Pulev. There’s no way of knowing when the UK government will allow live sporting events to continue.
