Eddie Hearn has revealed that his talks with UFC president Dana White after Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk might clash with the upcoming UFC London event. The pair are due to rematch on July 23 in Saudi Arabia with Usyk having defeated Joshua in September of last year. The fight has been in the works ever since that fight.
And just last week, the UFC confirmed that they will return to London on July 23 after a successful March 19 card.
In September, Joshua was comfortably defeated via points in the first meeting, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Usyk stripping Joshua of his three titles. It looked like Usyk would be forced to pull out of the upcoming heavyweight clash, when he returned to his home country of Ukraine to join the fight against the invading Russia. But the fight is now on with Usyk back on training.
