Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk's world heavyweight title rematch finally has a venue in the Jeddah Super Dome.
The 40,000-capacity venue has hosted a WWE pay-per-view event already, and management have told Sky Sports that they expect to be named the host for their first major boxing event. The largest geodesic dome in the world to ever stand without pillars, Jeddah Super Dome is an indoor venue, which is necessary in the Saudi Arabian summer heat.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn expects to make an announcement about the fight within the coming days, despite reports of a possible delay to proceedings. Management for the venue are planning for a July 23 fight night, but reports indicate that it could be pushed back a further few weeks into the middle of August.
