Anthony Joshua returns from injury to fight American Jason Gavern

Unbeaten English heavyweight Anthony Joshua will return from injury to face American Jason Gavern at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 4 April.

Joshua, 25, was forced to pull out of a fight with Kevin Johnson in January with a back injury.

He said: "The back injury has totally healed up and I will be firing on all cylinders next Saturday."

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist has won all 10 of his professional bouts inside three rounds.

The Watford-based fighter recorded a first-round stoppage against England's Michael Sprott in his most recent fight in November.

Promoter Eddie Hearn added: "It's a nice test on his return. Gavern has plenty of experience but Anthony has plenty of frustration to let out."
