Heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk will face Anthony Joshua in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Aug. 20 in a rematch of their London bout last year.
Ukraine’s Usyk beat Joshua in front of a sell-out crowd in September last year to claim the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts but the 32-year-old will have a chance to win back his titles in a fight dubbed “Rage on the Red Sea”.
Usyk, who is 19-0 with 13 knockout victories, said he had a mission to fulfil by retaining his crowns.
