Anthony Joshua will defend his IBF heavyweight title in Manchester at the Manchester Arena on Saturday November 26th.
In his last outing, the Olympic gold medalists made a successful defence of his world title by easily beating American Dominic Breazeale back in June.
And the thought of heading back to the North to showcase his talent has him excited. "I can't wait to get back up north and show the people of Manchester how much I have improved since the last time I was there. I have been inspired over the summer by the fighters in the Olympics, it has given me a new perspective and huge hunger to get back in ring."
Joshua's last five fights have all taken place in London at the iconic O2 Arena though will return back to Manchester for the first time since September 2014.
