The second press conference is scheduled to take place on Wednesday in London, dedicated to the return fight for three heavyweight belts between Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs). The boxers first met a few days ago in Saudi Arabia. The start of the London press conference is tentatively scheduled for 15:00 Kyiv time.

The second fight between the British and the Ukrainian will take place on August 20 in Jeddah. Eddie Hearn announced that during a media event on Wednesday, he will reveal names that, in addition to Fight of the Night, will appear on the August undercard.

According to unofficial information, the Saudis paid $80 million to organize a fight for the IBF, WBA and WBO championship belts. The first fight between Joshua and Usyk took place in September in London.
