The fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk will take place in August at the Jeddah Super Dome. It will not be the first time that Joshua has fought in the country, having won his rematch against Andy Ruiz there in 2019.
The venue was built in 2021 and has a 35,000 capacity, it has already hosted a big global event in the form of this year's WWE Elimination Chamber. Its construction demonstrates the state's ambition to host large scale international events and will host its first major boxing match on August 20 this year.
The London press conference for the fight takes place this week, with both fighters set to meet after an amicable display at last week's Saudi press conference. Both fighters were pictured taking selfies and acting in a friendly manner towards each other, but will we see a change in the UK?
