Eddie Hearn in an interview with DAZN said that the rematch Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) against Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) for the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts will take place on August 13 or 20.
“At the moment we are literally signing the papers, so the official announcement will be published in the near future. The international promotional tour will begin around June 20th," Hearn said the fight will take place in the Middle East.
The first fight between Joshua and Usyk ended in victory for the Ukrainian on points. Although it was a mandatory defense of the WBO title for AJ, the Briton was provided with a rematch clause in case of defeat.
