Oleksandr Usyk WILL take on Anthony Joshua this summer after confirming he will begin training for the rematch.
Usyk had plunged the sequel into doubt when he returned to Ukraine following Vladimir Putin's invasion last month. He took up arms along with former world champion Vasyl Lomachenko and when the lightweight opted against accepting his own title fight, it was feared Usyk might do the same.
But the former undisputed cruiserweight world champion has now decided to leave his homeland and begin his training camp, likely in neighbouring Poland. His second clash with Joshua is expected to be staged at the end of June or the beginning of July.
