Usyk-Joshua 2 debut press conference scheduled for Tuesday

The first press conference before the rematch for the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts between Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) will be held in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Yesterday, after several weeks of negotiations, it was officially announced that the fight, dubbed "Fury on the Red Sea", will take place on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Joshua and Usyk crossed gloves for the first time in September 2021. The Ukrainian won on points. The clash was a mandatory title defense for Joshua, but the Briton had previously guaranteed himself a rematch in the event of a loss.
