Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk meet this week in a London press conference, the second such event following last week's press conference in Saudi Arabia. That was a tight-lipped affair with both fighters thanking their hosts' hospitality and taking selfies together, but there is every chance that this week
Joshua will get the chance to regain the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles which he lost in the original clash in September 2021 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This was before Usyk, the unbeaten former cruiserweight, returned to his home country of Ukraine to assist with the ongoing war effort following the Russian invasion.
The fight will take place in August at the Jeddah Super Dome, with the 40,000 capacity stadium having already hosted WWE Elimination Chamber in February. It will not be the first time that Joshua has fought in the country, having won his rematch against Andy Ruiz there in 2019.
