Officially confirmed that the revenge between Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) in the UK will be shown by Sky Sports. The fight will be the main event of the evening organized on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
Sky Sports competed with DAZN for the rights to this event. A few weeks ago, Joshua signed a lucrative contract with the DAZN streaming service, but it will only take effect after the second fight with the Ukrainian.
Eddie Hearn has handed over British television rights to investors in Saudi Arabia under an $80 million contract. The August evening will be shown in the UK via pay-per-view for £26.95.
