Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk set to take place in England again
"I feel like it's a must-win for AJ. If we have the opportunity to stage the fight in the UK we should do it, and if he can win that fight on home soil it would be pretty special."
Joshua surrendered his three heavyweight titles to Usyk in September but will get the chance to become a three-time champion in April.
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes the showdown, which will see the pair collide for the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, will take place at Tottenham again although Wembley is also under consideration.
New-look team for Joshua?
Hearn shrugged off concerns that Joshua's decision to split with career-long trainer Rob McCracken could have a negative impact so soon before a contest that could define the rest of his career.
Hearn's Matchroom organisation have confirmed a slew of shows for the new year, including a rare Sunday outing for Lawrence Okolie who will defend his WBO cruiserweight title against Michael Cieslak on February 27.
Michael Conlan bids for Leigh Wood's WBA featherweight belt on March 12, and Josh Warrington's rematch with Kiko Martinez for the Spaniard's IBF title will take place at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on March 26.
