Vitali Klitschko: "We will do our best for Usyk-Joshua rematch to take place in Kiev"

Former world heavyweight champion and current Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko promised to do everything possible to ensure that the second fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua takes place in the capital of Ukraine.

"It's a matter of negotiation, we will do our best to ensure that it, if it takes place - in Kiev. I promised that he would become world champion, we as promoters have done everything for him to prove it to everyone, but it's predominantly a credit to Alexander.

"But we also help and do everything to develop the sport. I'm convinced that the team that has led to this success now will also be able to lead to the victory of Usyk in the rematch," Klitschko said on the air of the channel "Ukraine".

On September 25 in London, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision and won the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles. The contract for the fight included a rematch clause, which the British team had already activated.
