Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office - despite the former world champion signing an exclusive deal with streaming service DAZN.
Joshua announced last month that he was leaving Sky Sports having been with the broadcaster since his professional debut in 2013. But it later emerged that his sequel with Usyk was not part of the deal - and so a bidding war ensued. And the Daily Telegraph revealed that Sky Sports have edged out their rival after bidding reached £28million.
Joshua will bid to win back his three heavyweight world titles from Usyk in Saudi Arabia on August 20, almost a year after he was beaten at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The rivals are expected to share a purse of at least £100million.
