Anthony Joshua is gearing up for round two against Klitschko.

Speaking to iFL TV, the unified world heavyweight champion spoke about hosting the rematch in Lagos, Nigeria. "As long as the fight's good it doesn't matter where it is..." whilst pointing out a flight from London to Vegas takes longer than one does to Nigeria's biggest city Lagos.

Whilst the last fight sold out a record number of tickets after being hosted at Wembley Stadium in London, and some calling for the next to be held in the US, AJ said: "Vegas is the Mecca of boxing... Mayweather, but I'm gonna defend Nigeria."

With Lagos only one hour ahead of London, PPV sales would work much the same as they do if the event was held in the UK.
