Promoter Eddie Hearn says he's hopeful that fans will be allowed into the Manchester Arena for Katie Taylor’s long-awaited world championship bout with Amanda Serrano.
Former Olympic gold medalist Taylor is set to defend her world lightweight titles against the Puerto Rican on the 2nd of May.
Hearn says for now it's business as usual and that they're following advice from the British government.
"We understand that things can change at any moment," he told Sky Sports of the ongoing situation regarding the COVID-19 outbreak.
"In an hour, tomorrow, next week. We hope a lot of the deeper stuff into the summer will be good to go. Stuff that's 11 weeks, eight weeks, Joshua - 16 weeks. Nobody knows, that's the truth.
"We just have to continue as planned. Obviously fighters have got to fight, but at the same time the safety of the fans and spectators and everybody in general has got to be taken into consideration.
"I kind of feel like it's one that's going to be taken out of our hands. You've seen in America, in Germany, in Spain, in Italy, where they have reduced the number of people that's allowed on site.
"There is the option to stage certain fights behind closed doors. Top Rank tried to do that yesterday before they got shut down.
"For me, the bigger shows don't work like that. We're a sport that's built on passion and energy and the moment. To do that in an empty arena is going to be very, very difficult."
