Anthony Joshua is just days away from taking to the ring for his revenge mission against Oleksandr Usyk.
The Brit has had to wait 11 long months for the chance to exact his revenge following his one-sided points defeat by the Ukrainian in London last September. It will be Joshua's second such mission having successfully won back his belts from Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 following his first career defeat in New York.
Joshua will return to the scene of that rematch when he takes on Usyk in Saudi Arabia but he faces an uphill task against the tricky southpaw who became a two-weight world champion last year. Joshua has at least changed his coaching team as he faces a defining night in the ring.
Here is everything you need to know about Saturday night's fight...
What time will the fight start?
Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk is due to start between 10pm and 11pm UK time, which is between midnight and 1am in Saudi Arabia. The main card will begin at 5pm UK time and will feature the best of the supporting fights. The rest of the undercard will take place much earlier in the afternoon.
How to watch on TV and via stream
The fights will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK which means fans will have to splash out for the privilege. Sky have priced the fight at £26.95 in a bid to recoup the huge fee they paid to secure the rights to the rematch. Both Sky and non-Sky customers can watch the fight, with more details available here.
In most of the rest of the world, including in America, the fights will be shown on streaming service DAZN. The platform secured the UK rights to Joshua's fights earlier this summer but that did not include this one, hence why it is on Sky Sports Box Office.

Anthony Joshua
"It's hard to say from a head to head who's going to win a championship fight so I don't tend to look into head to heads so deeply, but for some they could think that's a 1-0 victory. That's down to opinion anyway. Shout out to everyone in Saudi Arabia as well! It is going to be my second time there; first time was lit and it is going to be even better this time for sure.
"In terms of old AJ, same old G, I’m just doing what I’m doing. Grafting away. It is a rough and tough sport. Fighting these lefties is a nightmare! And I cannot make the same mistake twice. I am hungry and desperate but at the end of the day how I perform will speak."
Oleksandr Usyk
"I am very happy to get the opportunity to fight in Saudi Arabia and help open new horizons for the sport of boxing. I love to travel around the world and fight in places for the first time. I am not fighting for money or any recognition. I am just doing my job now and will continue fighting until my heart keeps beating. I am not expecting anything from Anthony Joshua, but I know that he will be different, but so will I."
