Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk could face ‘two-week’ delay, says Eddie Hearn

PA Wire

Eddie Hearn has said he still expects Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch to take place on 23 July, though he added that a “two-week” delay cannot be ruled out.

Usyk outpointed Joshua in London last September to take the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles from the Briton. The pair are set to clash again this summer, with Saudi Arabia the likeliest location and 23 July having been mentioned by Hearn numerous times as the most probable date.
