British-Nigerian heavyweight Anthony Joshua is in contention to fight in Ghana on December 20 as part of a Matchroom Boxing show at the Legon Sports Stadium.

BoxingScene understands that Joshua is in the frame to fight, although any announcement on his next steps would likely only be confirmed by the former heavyweight champion himself.

The event is topped by the attractive light-heavyweight clash between Craig Richards and Dan Azeez, with Indian star Nishant Dev and heavyweight prospect Leo Atang also slated to appear.

Joshua has longed for a fight in Africa, and Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn has been inundated with inquiries about the former two-time unified heavyweight champion’s return. Punch
