Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed exactly how Tottenham Hotspur will be able to deal with their summer Premier League fixtures as well as hosting Anthony Joshua's next fight.
UEFA have now made the decision to push the Euros until the summer of 2021 in order to allow domestic leagues to complete their seasons.
That means Premier League fixtures could be played in June or possibly July, depending on just how long the English top flight is suspended for.
Tottenham have plenty of events at their stadium this summer, including Lady Gaga and Guns N' Roses concerts, Capital's Summertime Ball and Joshua's heavyweight title defence against Kubrat Pulev on June 20.
Now Hearn has revealed that he and Spurs have got another date ready in case that June bout is unable to go ahead.
“At the moment it’s still in place," Hearn told Sky Sports News. "Obviously with the news of the Euros being cancelled and the possible extension of the Premier League season, Spurs may need that stadium in June.
“We do have an option to run that fight in July as well at the same stadium. Everything now is really a case-by-case situation and a day-by-day situation of trying to think on your feet.
“I think that a requirement for Anthony and a necessity for him with this next fight was to box in the UK. June 20 is a long time away, it’s still in our plans and we have been speaking to Tottenham to make sure we’re all on the same page and that we know we have the same strategy moving forward.
"The Premier League decision (on Thursday) will play a big part in a number of sports’ plans to put new dates in place, and that fight as well.
"For the Anthony Joshua fight, already potential plans to move that fight back to July, we do have a date for that, but right now hoping June 20 can remain the date."
