Will the Usyk-Joshua rematch be postponed to August 6?

Ultimately, August 6 may be the date of revenge Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs). Previously, the re-fight of the boxers was scheduled for July 23, but, according to Eddie Hearn, the finalization of the contract is being delayed, which may lead to the postponement of the meeting.

The British promoter has confirmed that the fight will take place in Saudi Arabia, where Joshua's rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. took place. The first match between the Briton and the Ukrainian took place in September at the Tottenham Hotspurs stadium in London.

Usyk's WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles will be at stake. Joshua will be preparing for this duel under the guidance of American coach Robert Garcia.
