According to Mike Coppinger of The Athletics, August 21 and 28 are potential dates for the fight of Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) and Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs).

Joshua's team still hopes they can manage to make the unification fight with Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) scheduled for August 14, but if King of the Gypsies chooses the trilogy with Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), AJ crosses gloves with Usyk.

Alexander Usyk has been a mandatory contender for Anthony Joshua's WBO belt since his transition to the heavyweights.
