Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk time, date and ticket details
All the latest details as Anthony Joshua faces Oleksandr Usyk, including UK fight time, date and ticket details
Anthony Joshua returns to action this weekend in an intriguing clash against Oleksandr Usyk at a packed-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
AJ had been due to fight fellow Brit Tyson Fury in a winner-takes-all heavyweight clash but Fury's trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder put those plans on ice.
Joshua has only fought once since the start of the beginning of the COVID pandemic in the UK. He defeated Kubrat Pulev at the SSE Arena next to Wembley stadium in December 2020. Before that, his most recent fight was his revenge match against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia.
The 31-year-old faces a very different threat in the shape of Usyk. Known as 'The Cat', the Ukrainian star is the former undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world between 2018 and 2019, and remains unbeaten in all 18 bouts of his professional career.
Usyk triumphed in his first two bouts after stepping up to the heavyweight division – including a showdown with Dereck Chisora – and will now hurl himself headlong into the biggest fight of his career against WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight king Joshua.
Should Joshua win, and should Fury dispatch Wilder one more, the clamour for the pair to lock horns to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis will become too great to ignore.
