The rematch for the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg) between Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) has now been scheduled for August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Arabia. Sources said this
ESPN.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 23, but now Joshua will have almost a month more to work with new coach Robert Garcia.
In September last year, Usyk beat Joshua away and took away all the titles, thus becoming the champion in two divisions.
Joshua, 32, activated the rematch clause almost immediately. Due to various delays, delays and the Patriotic War in Ukraine, none of them have performed since.
Fury wants $500 million to fight Usyk or Joshua
Joshua is going to win ahead of schedule in the return fight, but, recall, it was the 35-year-old Usyk who was one step away from winning by knockout in the 12th round.
Previously, the Briton performed in Saudi Arabia. Having lost three titles in June 2019 to Andy Ruiz Jr., he got his revenge on him in the Middle East in December of that year. What will happen to Usyk?
On June 13, Joshua showed Usyk and us all an impressive “frame”.
Anthony’s coaches talked about preparing for Usyk: they say you will definitely see the new Joshua. Bulgarian Pulev gave a prediction for revenge, and he is not in favor of the offender. And Fury thinks that Garcia will not help Joshua. However, both of them are just “two suckers” for him.
