While Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has made offers to both sides in an attempt to make a spring fight between former junior welterweight world titlists Maurice Hooker and Regis Prograis on DAZN, Showtime is now engaged in talks in an effort to land the fight, sources with knowledge of the discussions told ESPN on Thursday. Prograis, who coming off a close decision loss to Josh Taylor in unification fight in the World Boxing Super Series final, is a broadcast free agent. Hooker is with Roc Nation Sports and Hearn, who has an output deal with DAZN but has sometimes made deals for his fighters to box on other outlets.

Unified heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua’s mandatory defense vs. Kubrat Pulev, which is close to being finalized, will take place June 13 or June 20 in London, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn told ESPN on Wednesday. He said it will be at either the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or Arsenal Stadium. The two, he said, are bidding on the fight, which Joshua wanted in England rather than away from his home country as his previous two bouts were in New York and Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn told ESPN on Wednesday that he hopes to bring a major DAZN show – April 11 or April 25 – to the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. He said he'd like to have it headlined by a fight between former junior welterweight titlists Maurice Hooker and Regis Prograis, which is being negotiated but not close to finalized. Even without that bout, he said two other fights he has deals for would be on the card: undisputed women's lightweight champion Katie Taylor against Amanda Serrano and a vacant lightweight world title bout between Luke Campbell and Javier Fortuna.
