Exciting Summer of Boxing Ahead at The O2

Get ready for a spectacular night of sport as Sky Sports Box Office announces a thrilling event featuring Anthony Joshua's first world title defence! On Saturday, 25 June, the Olympic gold medallist returns to The O2 in London to face the unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale. This highly anticipated match will see Joshua defending his IBF World Heavyweight title in what promises to be a sizzling summer night of boxing.

Since claiming the title in April with a resounding second-round victory over Charles Martin, Joshua has been making waves. Having turned professional just two and a half years ago, he has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the fifth quickest world heavyweight champion. Now, he is eager to return to his "fortress" at The O2 to face another formidable opponent. Breazeale, from Anaheim, California, arrives with an impressive undefeated record of 17 fights. Like Joshua, he honed his skills in the amateur ranks and was once the number one rated U.S. amateur boxer in the super heavyweight division.

A Stellar Undercard Line-Up

The excitement doesn't stop with the main event. The evening features a fantastic undercard, including what could be one of the biggest domestic clashes of 2016. George Groves will take on Martin Murray in a WBA Super-Middleweight Title Eliminator. This is a fantastic opportunity for both fighters to showcase their talent and keep their dreams of a world title shot alive. With such a stellar cast of boxers, fans can look forward to a memorable evening of high-quality sport.

Sky Sports executive producer Adam Smith described 9 April as a turning point for British boxing and noted that Joshua is rising in stature. He highlighted that Breazeale is a huge former Olympian who has defeated 15 of his 17 foes, promising an incredible contest. Joshua himself expressed his excitement about fighting again at The O2, noting that his coaches have studied Breazeale for a long time and that they are ready to go to war on 25 June.
