Anthony Joshua Returns To S/Arabia For Rematch With Oleksandr Usyk Mid-August
The rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in mid-August is scheduled to hold at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia.
The delay to the rematch being announced has centred around the broadcast deal for Joshua, with Sky having secured the two-time world champion for its Box Office channel in the UK, while sports streaming platform DAZN will take the international rights for the Londoner.
The Jeddah Super Dome multi-purpose event space has a 35,000 seating capacity.
Joshua will face Oleksandr Usyk who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles after a unanimous decision win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September.
Joshua, 32, is attempting to reclaim the titles.
Although, an exact date has not been fixed, management at Jeddah Super Dome confirmed that it was a preferred venue to host the blockbuster bout.
The fight would be a return to Saudi Arabia for Joshua, having defeated Andy Ruiz Jr. on points in a rematch in December 2019.
