Joshua vs Usyk 2 Fight date, UK start time, Live stream info
The rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk has been set for a date and place.
The combat was supposed to take place between May and July, but negotiations took longer than expected.
The rematch between Joshua and Usyk was postponed due to social unrest in Usyk’s home country of Ukraine.
Usyk, 35, returned to his native Ukraine at the beginning of this year to fight Russia.
Nonetheless, he is presently in training camp, ready for the biggest battle of his life, which he believes he will win.
Usyk overcame and mainly outclassed Joshua in September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to win the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO world titles.
Hearn said AJ’s performance against Usyk “puzzled” him and hinted at a change in tactics.
Joshua has issued a fresh challenge in order to exact revenge on Andy Ruiz Jr. for beating him in 2019.
The promoter, Eddie Hearn, indicated that his client is “baffled” by the approaches used the first time, and that the strategies would alter in the rematch, which will take place later this year.
It took months for the two sides to agree on AJ’s next fight in Saudi Arabia after he defeated Ruiz Jr. on points. Joshua’s squad now includes Robert Garcia and Angel Fernandez, who will support him in his preparation.
