Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua look set to fight on July 23 as Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn has confirmed the date as a "strong possibility".
While Saudi Arabia is expected to host the world heavyweight title rematch, with Joshua and Usyk both earning monster payouts, no venue has been decided as yet. Instead, Hearn insists, an announcement is forthcoming in the next few weeks.
Speaking with Mirror Fighting ahead of this weekend's Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight in New York, Hearn confirmed that the promotion have come to terms Joshua and Usyk's deals. But they have yet to find out where the fight will be held, and aren't 100 per cent locked in to the July 23 date, despite it being the preferred outcome.
