Anthony Joshua’s Rematch Against Ukrainian War Hero Oleksandr Usyk To Hold In Saudi Arabia, Check Date
Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight championship rematch with Ukrainian war hero Oleksandr Usyk is set to take place in Saudi Arabia at the end of June.
Mail Online reports that a mega-million-dollars deal to move Joshua’s bid to regain his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles away from London was reached in principal at Middle East time last night, with June 25 choosen as the most likely date
Joshua lost his heavyweight titles to former cruiserweight king Usyk last September.
A rematch between the pair was brought back then, but it was recently put in jeopardy after Usyk returned to Ukraine to help fight against Russian attacks in the country.
Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn insisted that the rematch would still take place despite the ongoing crisis after Saudi Arabia forked out a reported £90million to host the rematch with June 25 being the frontrunner date, as claims MailOnline.
JUST IN: Anthony Joshua Surrenders To Oleksandr Usyk
The price tag for the fight is a third more than the £60million Saudi paid for Joshua’s rematch with Andy Ruiz in 2019.
Joshua will look to become just the sixth three-time heavyweight champion in boxing history by avenging his loss to Usyk.
