PROMOTER Eddie Hearn hopes James DeGale and Lee Selby will make second defences of their world titles at the O2 Arena on April 9.

DeGale should fight on this one. He could be involved in a PPV fight in the next three years and is well known. Less of a case for Selby, as the money is probably a lot better in the US, but there is the big fight in the works against Warrington so probably makes sense for him to be on the London card.
Not a bad card if Macklin Rose and a couple of other good fights make it on, but clearly not as deep as the May or December one.
Hearn is in need of good fights to fill Joshua's next PPV card. If these 2 are not possible, I guess he will try to put Anthony Crolla defending his title in the bill.
