Usyk-Joshua revenge not earlier than August 20?

The date of July 23 is no longer relevant, although the team set it on Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs). His revenge with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) will probably take place no earlier than August 20.

When the Ukrainian took away the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts from the Englishman at the end of September, AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn said that a rematch could take place in March. But time passed, the dates shifted, and it seems that at least eleven months will pass between the first and second battles.

The previously announced venue for the fight does not change. The fight should take place in Saudi Arabia.

We add that the Englishman began working with a new coach - Robert Garcia. Therefore, it is more convenient for him to have a rematch four weeks later.
