Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua: Everything you need to know ahead of the rematch
The pair are locked in negotiations but it has been confirmed that the second encounter will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Anthony Joshua is bidding to become a three-time heavyweight champion when he faces Oleksandr Usyk this summer.
In September 2021, Usyk outclassed Joshua to win on points in London and became a two-weight world champion - and just the second after Evander Holyfield to unify both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
The Ukrainian southpaw will now face Joshua once again and below, we take a look at everything we know ahead of the blockbuster.
When will the fight take place?
It was originally pencilled in for July 23 but negotiations between both teams took longer than expected due to bids from overseas countries to host the fight as well as the broadcasting rights.
The second fight will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and August 20 is the chosen date.
Will it be a UK-friendly timezone?
While Saudi Arabia is a seven-hour flight from the UK, they are only two hours ahead of British Summer Time.
How can I watch Usyk v Joshua 2?
Anthony Joshua signed a multi-fight deal with DAZN UK and it is believed to be worth eight figures.
The heavyweight left Sky Sports after an eight-year association with them and not only will he fight on the platform, he will become a stakeholder in the company.
