The rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 20 but they will have a press conference in the UK this week. This is scheduled to be taking place in London on Wednesday where it is believed that the undercard will be unveiled.
The original fight took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in September, when Usyk beat Joshua via unanimous decision to win the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles. The rematch has been delayed due to the current situation in Usyk's home country of Ukraine, with the 35-year-old returning home to join the war effort earlier in the year.
Both fighters spoke at a press conference at the venue for the fight in Saudi Arabia last week and Joshua made it clear that he felt confident of winning back the titles he lost last autumn. He said: "I’m focused on the goal, god willing I’ll perform, and I’ll become three-time Heavyweight Champion of the World.

"With Andy Ruiz I think a lot of people can see before the fight things weren’t 100%. You’ve got to be strong, thick skinned; we take our loss like a man. When I win, I keep it moving and I thank everybody. When you lose, you have to stay humble as well in defeat. We kept it moving and I knew I could come back again and do what I have to do."
