Anthony Joshua's heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk will take place in Saudi Arabia on August 20.
The British star lost his unified titles after being outpointed by the Ukrainian last year before immediately activating his contracted clause to a second meeting. Delays have repeatedly hit the announcement of the sequel after Usyk was unable to meet the original planned date in April after taking up arms to defend his native Ukraine against Russian invasion.
However, the rescheduled clash will now be staged in Jeddah later this summer with Joshua finally handed his chance at redemption. He will attempt to repeat his rematch victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in the same country in 2019.
