June 2019 Boxing Schedule: Anthony Joshua Headlines First U.S. Show
After Deontay Wilder had his heavyweight title defense a couple of weeks ago, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, the division’s other two other top stars, are set to fight in the month of June.
The heavyweight division will be on the global stage when Joshua defends his unified titles against Andy Ruiz Jr. at Madison Square Garden and Tyson Fury has his Top Rank debut in Las Vegas.
