Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 will now go ahead in July. The pair are due to rematch on July 23 in Saudi Arabia with Usyk having defeated Joshua last year.
Plans for the fight have been an ongoing discussion since September, when Usyk defeated Joshua comfortably via points in the first meeting, stripping Joshua of his three titles and pushing a heavyweight unification bout further into the horizon.
However, it looked like Usyk would be forced to pull out of the upcoming heavyweight clash, when he returned to his home country of Ukraine to join the fight against the invading Russia.
