Phil Edwards to referee Anthony Joshua vs. Carlos Takam
Posted: 17 Oct 2017, 13:50
British referee Phil Edwards will take charge of Anthony Joshua's world title defence against Carlos Takam, promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed.
He has refereed Joshua in the past, overseeing his second round knockout of Raphael Zumbano Love in 2015.
Two US officials will be joined by a British representative on the judging panel at the Principality Stadium.
"Two American judges, one British," said Hearn. "The BBBofC always insist on the ref and one judge - that's their rule unless there is a very special reason why."
