Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) aroused great interest among fans last week by posting the announcement of the upcoming "important announcement" on social networks. At the same time, the Briton himself did not specify whether this information would be related to his next duel.
When asked when the former champion will reappear in the ring, he replied: “Soon. I don’t want to say much, but the fight will take place in the near future, and I pray that it will be a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. I will definitely not face anyone other than the Top 10."
The rematch of Joshua and Usyk was supposed to take place in May, but the September offender of AJ after the Russian attack on Ukraine stopped training and joined the ranks of the territorial defense forces. According to promoter Bob Arum, the teams of Usyk and Vasily Lomachenko supposedly had to make a request to the Minister of Culture of Ukraine for permission to leave the country and begin preparations for the planned fights.
