Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk has been confirmed at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia on August 20.
Joshua is aiming to reclaim the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles after a unanimous decision loss to the Ukrainian in their first fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London last September.
Since that defeat Joshua has revamped his training set up, bringing in American trainer Robert Garcia to join Angel Fernandez in his corner in a bid to avenge the second defeat of his professional career.
