The ground is “on the radar” for the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight champion, who has already fought at both Wembley and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium over the course of his career.
New York’s Madison Square Garden will stage Joshua’s upcoming fight against Jarrell Miller on 1 June, but Hearn is already planning for a north London return.
Hearn’s father, Barry, staged Frank Bruno’s victory over Joe Bugner at White Hart Lane in 1987 and the promoter now wants to follow suit – more than 30 years on.
“I’d love to emulate the old man and put on a fight at the new Spurs ground,” he told the Evening Standard.
“The big stadium shows are quite rare but you’re always looking out for places. And Joshua had outgrown the indoor arenas here.
“Tottenham’s new stadium looks magnificent. Its ultra-modern and state-of-the art. I don’t know what Spurs’ plans are but it could be another option among several in London.
“With no roof you’d be limited to dates between April and September. But it looks perfect. It’s got to be on the radar for future big boxing events.”
