Steve Farhood: "Joshua v Klitschko won't happen"

Despite promoter Eddie Hearn confirming the Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko fight was on, it has been thrown into doubt now because of issues with one of the sanctioning bodies.

There are reports that Klitschko is reluctant to go ahead with the fight unless its also sanctioned by the WBA, who's belt is vacant after Tyson Fury relinquished the title. That organisation is yet to confirm if this will be the case.

Boxing writer Steve Farhood believes it's a calculated move by the Klitschko and the fight will not go ahead.
