A leg injury won't stop Anthony Joshua from fighting Kubrat Pulev or Tyson Fury according to his promoter Eddie Hearn.
Joshua was wearing a knee brace on his left knee when he spoke at a Black Lives Matter protest in his home town of Watford last weekend.
It sparked fears that the two-time unified world heavyweight boxing champion could miss his likely title defence against Pulev later this year.
"When you're on crutches with your leg in a brace it is never great, but it's not something that will affect his 2020 career or his career at all," Hearn told Sky Sports News.
"He will have the brace on for three or four weeks just to make sure he is good to go to resume training.
"He tweaked the inside of his knee. He's had scans. No surgery, so that's good news.
"He's got to make sure he doesn't do any running or heavy work over the next few weeks."
Hearn is confident that the Pulev bout can be scheduled for this winter ahead of two fights against Tyson Fury in 2021:
"There are talks to stage the Pulev fight around November. That's the fight that is next. It's the IBF mandatory.
"We want to make sure that, when a Joshua-Fury fight does happen, it is for all the belts. The undisputed heavyweight championship of the world."
