Eddie Hearn announced that, to the best of his knowledge, a rematch between Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) will almost certainly take place in June this year. ...
“This week we talked a lot with Alexander Krasyuk and told him that we need to know the answer. It seems that the decision has been made on their part, and we will see revenge in June. I'm almost sure it will happen. However, for now, I cannot comment on the situation with Usyk's preparation and transmit the messages that I receive from his manager," Hearn said.
In recent weeks, Usyk was in Ukraine, which is undergoing Russian occupation, and was part of the territorial defense forces. In September last year, the Ukrainian defeated Joshua on points, taking away his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.
